Panzer 38t and Panzer III
Posted: Sat Jun 17, 2017 12:45 am
I've finished the work on my panda hobby panzer 38t and only await the custom battery and a hobby king receiver so I can mate her to my turnigy 9xrpro. Before I added the camoflouge pattern I needed to test it out.
I managed to take a beautiful panzer III from Mr MichealC here on the forum and decided to use that as a test canvas for my dunkelgelb and grey Panzer paint pattern. So now I have twins ( kind of)
As a result I decided to show them off together and will eventually get them outside together to snap some pictures and videos.
For anyone who has followed the Panzer 38t in the other builds section you all know about her already and I appreciate all the kind words that have come from so many people here.
I've yet to paint or weather the tracks on the Panzer 38t since I'm afraid to make them not function smoothly until I break them in so that's another days project.
The panzer III has a Taigen metal lower chassis with metal tracks and the works. The upper is a plastic Heng Long with a metal 50mm barrel and recoil servo. It has an Ibu2 and upgraded brass gearboxes. Metal machine gun in front hull. I built my own metal antenna and base. Top has the easy latch system and I also added a resin under rear deck plate to close the rear hull. MichealC is an artist when it comes to the internals and electronics designs so kudos to him and his attention to quality in his builds.
I added chipping to both models with three different washes and dry pigments. Thanks so much for looking.
Cheers

I've added the dry pigments that you have used on your models to my models to give that extra touch so thank you!
Funny you say that .... it was from this forum that I learned about chipping and other tricks. A lot of these fellows are true masters of the hobby!
