Is Green Amphibian still making them? I know he made Imex-Erik's Hetzer, and it's very nice.

Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38-t r/c Conversion
I decided that before I get into taking the Nashorn project apart to install the electronics I would finish the tracks on the Panzer 38t. Other than fitting the track tensioners this tank is ready for the electronics conversion kit whenever I receive it. Working this weekend so my time is limited. Thanks for looking
At least I can finally give my fingers a rest and that damn 1mm drill bit

Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38-t r/c Conversion
I will be putting this into primer sometime next week and was considering some paint schemes. My initial thought was to go with Panzer grey like the early war variants similar to the Dicker Max.
I then happened to come across this interesting paint online and wanted opinions on this camo design....
Thanks
Carl

Carl, Good afternoon!
That looks summat like Hermans excellent paint scheme that he just applied to his Jagdtiger. ( scaled down of course ;o) It would look great on this vehicle but I have to say, not a lot of early War grey paint going around out there either. It does have a cachet all it's own.
regards,
Painless

Oh that Stug III looks very nice Once I sand and do some filling I will spray a base primer coat of grey and dark shading and take it from there. Then I can go further into the grey direction or use the grey as a base coat for some dunkelgelb.... Thanks Mr PainlessPainlessWolf wrote:Carl, Good afternoon!

Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38-t r/c Conversion
There are also these versions that I find myself interested in.... The first version is your traditional Panzer grey and touches of dunkelgelb

Re: Panda Hobby Panzer 38-t r/c Conversion
I'd cast my vote for panzergrau too, like Painless said there's not a lot of it going about. I think it will lend itself well to weathering.
Looking forward to seeing you squeeze all the electronics and mechanical bits into it!
