I used poly kote metal primer to spray paint the stripped ad new Panthers.
Poly Kote is an acrylic metal primer and is dull finish.
I was surprised at what appeared to be heavy cote dried very thin. Some interior corners didn’t receive an application but this is more a symptom of my sweep and pass spray technique than a problem with the spray pattern.
You will notice some green and grey areas wher the cote is not covering.
Kompanie HQ – peaked cap commander at cupola. Bare hands at rest.
Kompanie HQ 2ic – Closed cupola but has front track guards removed.
All non command tanks have a spare road wheel on the right hand side of the turret.
Plt HQ – soft cap commander at cupola with binoculars in hands.
Plt Panthers – closed cupolas with spare road wheel.
Plt Panther 2ic has a set of expelled shell casings on the rear deck. These casings are putty rolls. As they are Milliput I will be able to file and shape them in place to tidy up the shapes a bit better. But with correct painting you won’t notice any sculpting defects in these.
The thin Shurzen panels will be painted and attached seperatly at later date as some pinning will be required. These will be blue-tacked onto the tanks after dunkelgelb application so that the airbrushed pattern in brown and green will match up with the tank hull side patterns. Pinning and fixing will follow after the tracks and road wheels are detailed properly.
