It's called a flow pencil... ...super cool tool...great for insignias and stuff ...just haven't used on my tanks because I don't need to
Totally forgot about it till I dug all my airbrush stuff out
It's very cool for fine lining and stuff...perfect for the octapus pattern ...very precise control once you have the proper mix
some practice scribbles
will probably use this when I redo my Tiger
Nope, all the places here I have made enquiries with ................(that guys on crack ) have no idea what a flow pencil is !
With the impending puss-rings upon me, this took on a bigger picture. No joy however.
The munitions carrier is excellent, and as you say, it needs to be parked up next to the tank it is supplying to look the part. Now, if you build a Berg, you will have the complete set.
Never knew that those pencils existed, it would save a lot of hassle when doing German crosses and trying to make them look handpainted. How fine do they go? I am wondering whether they would do things like US army vehicle lettering eg 'No Step' etc?
Thanks Mr Wobbly & Mr Pat.
It did seem to lack that certain 'thing' when the build was on, but next to the White Tiger it seems to work.
All the hobby places I have enquired about are no joy on the flow pencils, but I think I might try automotive custom paint shpos & see how they go.
If they are that good someone must know where I can get one other than ebay.

USE YOUR AIRBRUSH Herman! ....told you it was easy
But if you really need the flow pencil...check your local art supply centers
For me getting someone pregnant is 'easy'
As old 'Dirty Harry' said............"A mans got to know his limitations"
Unless I get one of these gadgets I will try everything before the free hand airbrush for the rings.
Hell, I would even try a paint- doused live octopus
Rest assured Herman if I hear anymore talk about using an Octopus to paint your Tiger I shall feel obliged to refer you to the "SPCO" otherwise known as the "Society for the prevention of cruelty to Octupii" carry on with the build that is making what I always thought to be the most boring Tank visually in the German armed forces into a work of mechanical art shaun
...super cool tool...great for insignias and stuff ...just haven't used on my tanks because I don't need to 
...something to avoid stepping on
