Yellow flowers are tough to spot but there is 7 of them.

Herman, looking very good sir and now that it has a bucket it's official finished.

Good morning,Herman,
Worth all of the work! (fun) It's a Panzer IV to set right up there with the best of them. The bucket is indeed, the finishing touch.
regards,
Painless

Cheers Mr phil
Its tank-day at the North Brisbane RC Tank Club this Saturday , its first outdoor run, so If I am lucky the clubs resident super-photographer Mr Frost will be in attendance to capture images only he can...........
It does rank as my cleanest tank, but several hours of running around should dust it up quite nicely.

[philipat]

hope you can get the photos...that would be awesome!

I like parade-ready tanks (ie, somewhat clean with some dirt or dust)...not sure why, maybe it implies a professional crew.

[HERMAN BIX]

No good pictures I'm afraid, he wasnt there.
Its did dust up a lot, and thats what it needed.
Had a bit of a hassle with spring leaf displacement, but to be expected the way its set up.
Runs very well and looks ok on the move,

[philipat]

cool...glad it runs well.

Thanks Mr Jussek, from you that is a massive rap.

The super glue method is not new, I have never done a video of it, but a bit of trial & error will give you great results.
Really is a way of giving uneven texture to the surface.
You can use your finger, a brush, or anything that will spread the glue and add texture.
It can be sanded to reduce any harsh high spots, and then gone over if required.
Differnt areas will give you varying results................part of the fun really.
Its more readily available than the complex surfacer products, so you can afford to experiment a bit.
