| Here's a few from the book "Tiger I on the Eastern Front", these should be pretty historically accurate. Abt 502 Abt 503 Abt 505 (there is a painting stencil available for the interesting unit emblem on the turret0 SS Leibstandarte _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

| I like Option one! What colors would i need tamiya wise? I am thinking these paints might do it?
Base:XF-63 German Gray Mask off Camo Pattern (some stripes?) Spray: TS27 Matt White Wash: Light Brown or Watered down black Wheels:Grey with white\rust weathering? Tracks: matt Black of some sort???? Seal:Clear Flatt?
Also i am going to need a commander with an officers cap & To pick my own tank number.... 88 (year i was born) i was told might be an offensive number for some reason o.O so perhaps i should go with 117 (Since i screwed up my WoT account name due to miss reading carious tank number) _____________________________________________ |

| For tracks, I mix a bunch of flat black XF-1, Hull Red XF-9 and a hint of Metallic Grey XF until it looks right; not to scientific Dry brush the high spots with XF-56 and spray with several coats of Rustoleum Frosted Glass (clear). _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

| We need to get Stince and Airbrusher in on this, oddly, I am a bit more "seat of the pants"on this, they might be better at explaining the methodology. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

No rush, i have to strip my test models first anyhow -_- and i just noticed my jerk of an older brother used up 2 jugs of simple green i bought for when i do commission painting for people that required a model stripping. Also is it cheaper to order tamiya paints online anywhere? Locally the guy marks things up from to $8 bucks for a small pot because he thinks no one notices -_- _____________________________________________ |

| Why worry about number 88 being offensive, while you have a Nazi officer as your profile picture? |

we pay too much for things in Canada. I buy 23 ml containers of Tamiya acrylic just across the border (for me) in Niagara Falls NY for just over $2.00, about what the local shop in Canada sells the 10 ml for. Then they wonder why we go to the U.S. or buy on line; I would like to support the locals, but we are getting hosed, here. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

Sounds like a good plan, I don't mind paying my fair share, but it sounds like your local guy wants you to pay someone else's share, too _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

i don't use any Tamiya paints they are all acrylic dollar store paints and i usually airbrush but they could be drybrushed on i use a tan colour mix a bit of black and brown just to dirty it up a little on the edge i mix a bit of orange with brown or maroon to mix a rust colour and i brush it on the edges of the tracks and then go in with a bit of silver i'll have to try and get a close up later |

| Well small problem lads.......My airbrush kinda sucks for anything but basecoating so any suggestions on how the bloody hell i should do a winter white wash? The tank is already in this scheme anyone got suggestions? As things sit i might try to just mist 80\20 thinner & paint over it to to give a snow covered look...... _____________________________________________ |

| You don't need an airbrush to do a white wash, just brush.
When the Germans applied in the field, it was with a mop and rags. It was also meant to come off in the spring, so it was general slopped on. _____________________________________________ HL Panzer III | HL Tiger | HL Jagdpanther | HL Panther | Mato Sherman Hooben Elefant | HL Pershing | HL Bergepanzer IV | Tamiya Leopard 1A | WSN T-34 HL "Golden" Pan-Tiger | M16 Halftrack | HL Panzer IV | Tamiya KV-1 | Tamiya Tiger
