Panzer II
« on: December 10, 2020, 11:40:44 AM »
This the 1/35 scale Tamiya Panzer II. I started it in February-March of this year ready for the May club night but as we went into lockdown it was put to one side.
It's out of the box, a good kit finished with a MiniArt crew figure.

I only asked as it looked darker than mine.
Cheers.

I think it’s the photo, on the model it’s very close to the plastic colour.

I have different makes of Panzer Grey and they look different. Remember the real thing differed as it came from different suppliers so we have a lot of leeway.

Shhhh or you will get Haddock on what colour is what colour and how it should look - and thats before it gets weathered, or sun on it, or salt water on it - the possibilities are endless.  and when he has finished I will start - hohoho

Something for Andy to take on board as Nato Black looks more scale black than Black Black. That's what I use.

Great work Bob. Was that 20mm gun automatic? I bet this tank could do some real damage to infantry.
CHRIS-- I thought black was the new gray.

Yes it was Andy, and I agree NATO black looks more authentic.
