 Looking great, Sophie! 

 

I built the 1/16 Trumpeter Panzer IV, so I can relate to your project here.

 

These kits do have their flaws as you point out, but they really aren't bad and there isn't a lot to choose for in this scale anyway!

 

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

 

 

 

Thank you! These tanks are a solid base to detail from, even though they do have their flaws.

Good show.  What are you using as the primer?

 

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mark

 

I have been experimenting with primers to find one I like. I am currently using Alclad’s Grey Microfiller Primer, but I have some MRP primers to try next.

Outstanding work! I really enjoy working in this scale—and your build shows just how much detail you can add. Will you be using the kit tracks, or aftermarket?

 

Cheers,  Tom

 

I am about halfway through assembling the kit tracks which is a very long and monotonous task! I may got for a metal track set though as there are some great ones made for the RC kits in this scale.

I can vouch for MRP primers, and they also come in a variety of armour colours which may be helpful for you in future German armour builds

 

That’s great to know! The Alclad one isn’t too bad. It can come out a little grainy, and doesn’t smell to pleasant. It is fine for large scale armour, but for aircraft i’d prefer something a lot smoother. I guess HM Hobbies will be getting another order from me soon, lol.
