Gazzas Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Another second-hand buy been in my stash for a coupla months: The only decal option is "unknown unit Eastern Front 1943" Not overly plussed with that, but we'll see what kind of decals we can find in the stash later. Assembled the chassis, used Sharpies for the rubber, and did some streaking and an oil wash. Pastels for dust and detailing the Fruils before moving on to the superstructure. Turret is basically completed but not painted or pictured. Thanks for looking!

Gazzas Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Love that version of the Leopard, too. Makes me think of the Tiger I. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Watching the future coming up: Oh, Lord! There is an ISU looking at us! Nice beginning! Regards - dutik LSP_K2 and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Nice beginnings on the main workhorse of the Panzerkorp for the entire war. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I suspect that it's a better kit than the Tamiya that I'm currently working on. Gazzas and Joel_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Very nice, the IV is the workhorse of the Panzerwaffe (it was actually intended to be an infantry support tank, but the Pz. III couldn't hold the long 75mm and the IV could). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Guys, Thank you for stopping by and thank you fire your kind words. Good google with the ISU. Whether the Tamiya our theDragon is better would depend on your viewpoint I guess. If I had my eighteen year old eyes and hands, the Dragon kit would be wonderful. Alas, many of the fine parts now fit into the nuisance category. On Tamiya's favour is the poly cap system, ease of build, good detail, and the inclusion of a figure. Pick your poison. Except for the old style poly tracks, I can't say I've ever been disappointed by them. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Oh, this is not an ISU part. This is the inside of the drivers visor of a Pz. IV tank, minus the armored glass My own photo, made while sitting on the drivers seat of the tank. OK, not during WW2, but last year Regards - dutik Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Still, finding and ISU looking at you, just might inspire one to fill his drawers. That's what I found funny. Cool photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
