Very nice HB, I like the yellow numbers with the tricolour camo.

So do I Mr Hugill, Brendon (North Brisbane RC Tank Club)has done a scintillating job on these turret numbers. No way I could have pulled this off.
He did the figures I have, and he frankly makes it look easy.
Sure, stencils were used, but they are "one-hit-wonders" and cannot be reused after each spray
Pretty tough gig to get 'B' letters that look right, he did that too.
Some conjecture about the possible colour of the markings for this unit, but looking at the hue of the markings in B&W pics, plus the period - likely variations of in-field application which this unit DID have to do, the yellow is plausible.
I now have to face the facts that turret numbers & figures seem to somehow complete a Tank.................and this is the only one I have with them both
I still have to blend them in, but that will be a simple thing, and the natural dust of running at the club day on the 30th will add the finishing touch.
Now, that bucket..............

Herman the tank is fantastic mate and the yellow letter and numbers look great against the tri colour background. A lovely build.

Looks the goods with the yellow numbers, boss. How come the stencils are single-use only? Are they self-adhesive or something?
Re: HERMANS 'GERMAN SHERMAN' PZIV F2 'B11'
Looks awesome! I like the yellow markings.
But...
where's the bucket? Gotta see this bucket with 7 flowers.

Yes mate, great having the letter option, but self adhesive type.Raminator wrote:Looks the goods with the yellow numbers, boss. How come the stencils are single-use only? Are they self-adhesive or something?
At $25 from Bulgaria I was honestly just happy to see them, and its worth it just to have these markings on.
