Armourfast Stug iii 1/72 x2

Post by Quax »

So to fill in a little time before the sci fi Sig that I seem to have got myself into I decided to do this. There are 2 kits in the box and retail somewhere around £10. I would say it's not a first kit although it's very simple the instructions are quite basic and there are no real locating points, I had to look at a 1/35 one a couple of times to be sure of what I was doing. So to the pics, painted with Ultimate black primer then AK Real Color dunkelgelb

Well they definitely do what they say on the tin!

Nice work mate - how did you get on with the AK Real Colours? I had a dabble with them last year but couldn't get a consistent finish off them.
Cheers, Neil

thanks guys :th: :th:
To answer your question Neil I think they're great, I only use MLT with them and have had no issues. I would say they're a lot like Tamiya should have been, theres no need to get the chemistry set out to try to mix eye of newt and leg of bat to get olivegrun :crazy: They go on very smoothly and take filters well, however white is still a little like mixing C-Stoff and T-Stoff..... In short I have cursed and sworn hardly at all using it (except white), I'm still rubbish but now I cant blame the paint! :lol: :lol:

cheers
