Just in case you have a Polish version too,here is what I'm doing.For the base coat I used Tamiya J.A.Grey.For camo I used Testors Olive Drab and Polly Scale Italian Camo Brown 2.I outlined the camo colors with flat black.According to the instructions,these colors should be fairly accurate. Other schemes shown are Sand Yellow with an overspray of dark brown and olive.I picked the scheme I'm doing because it can be done with a brush.The other schemes I would need an airbrush which I don't have.Yet! Hope this helps.Also,I would highly recommend using the indy link tracks from Mirage.
Try finding somebody who speaks Polish... Or try the various Internet translation services, like www.Babelfish.com
Also,find a Polish/English dictionary.This is how I translated the color scheme of a WWII Polish fighter I plan on doing someday.
It´s not as much the colours, which are indeed written in Polish but includes the Humbrol codes ( 117, 160 and 93 ), as it is the scheme itself. The boxart shows a three colour scheme with thin black demarcation lines, while the painting instructions shows no demarcation lines at all. What I was wondering about was mostly if the black lines are supposed to be there or not.
the colors for the polish tanks is a 3 colors scheme as: olive green dark brown sand yellow in paterns like clouds or mainly with horizontal stripes or a simply olive green. hope be helpfull panzer67
I must admit that the 'Falcon' Hind has been quietly shelved until I can solve the problem of the feathers... Suggestions please! I have just recieved the kits for my next captured T-34 conversion, inspired by this topic: http://www.fun-online.sk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1712 I am again using the Italeri T-34 version 1942, a good kit. http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=IT7008 I have the quadruple Flak gun already built as part of a half-finished half-track kit. It was unfinished because I could not decide whether to mount the flak gun on the halftrack or on the trailer. Now that question is answered for me!
Ricky, that is about the most awesome project I've seen in a long time. You're definitly using good kits, I really have good experiences with Italeri ( elefant, 2x Koningstiger (just for the fun of it ) and a hanomag) I wish you good luck building it, and I seriously look forward to see pictures!
It should be fun! Although honesty compells me to question the 'most awesome' bit The 'flakvierling' was built many years ago, before I discovered filler putty (and good painting) so it will need some restoration work. Italeri do make some lovely kits, and this one comes with nice 'build them yourself' tracks - but not entirely individual links, thankfully. Here (again) is a picture of the last German T-34 I made, using the Italeri kit: However, at the moment I have very little time when I am not busy (wedding plans!) and a work surface is available (small house, with parents), so don't hold your breath... After marriage I will hopefully have a bit more spare time / opportunity, as my beloved works shifts...
Sleep? Yeah, I suppose I should get some stored up before that potential point in the future when kids arrive on the scene...
Take your time, or you'll never get around to modelling anymore! (I know from experience, I'm a kid. )
In all this fuss we almost forgot to congratulate this guy with his marriage. Congrats, Ricky! I hope you will live long&happily ever after
He's not married yet, ye ignorant fool. See here http://www.fun-online.sk/forum/viewtopi ... c&start=40
Someone have been spending a lot of money on resin. But seriously, they are simply gorgeous. I´ll have a hard time trying to finish my Greyhound after this.
