An update on the kitty's

Post by AlanWhite »

Changed the turret decal and added a decal to the fire extinguisher on the Panther G

I changed the knight decal on the Tiger 2 turret as it was oriented wrongly , added fire extinguisher decal and gave it it a light weathering which is sealed with matt varnish oh also painted the tracks matt black

Gave the Tiger a light weathering sealed with matt varnish and painted tracks matt black

I havnt weathered the tracks on the tigers as i hope to get them like the panther through using them outside :thumbup:

I have a similar Panther G in three-color camouflage. Is the number 215 based on a specific prototype tank or tank unit?

Many thanks for such a speedy and helpful response. I have used Peddinghouse decals a number of times, sometimes with great results, sometimes they disintegrated after a short dip in warm water (no setting solution), sometimes they silvered when put on over glosscoat and under under a flat coat. Nonetheless, I have not given up!

I'm glad the Elite Armor decals were of a help. They got to you much faster than I would have got them in Canada. Sometimes a month but that's a combo of them touring the US courtesy of USPS and then sitting in customs here for 2 weeks. Problem with those Elite Armor sheets and the CD that comes with them is it makes you want to build 8 more Panthers :D
