Holger KranichThat all looks quite nice! And the tracks look like a lot of work!!!

Steve Wilson...
I say!!! Is that a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer on yer Tank???
Or are you just pleased to see me???
12 April 2015, 10:23
Roland RothOh Jesus, Steve ... 😄 😄 😄
Yeah, Holger ... you need you need a lot of patience and time, about 8 hours worked for the tracks.
Another 25%, then I have done😉

Roland RothThe work of one saturday - you can call it "photo-etch day" 😄 (from pic 43)

Roland RothWeisst du dafür die korrekte, englische Übersetzung, Holger? 😄 😄 😄
Thx for your comments, mates! 👍
10 May 2015, 15:24
Roland RothMuuuuaaaahahahah ...
... aber nicht unrichtig! Tarnkreuz ginge ja auch noch in deutsch - aber camouflage cross ist dann total daneben😉

Roland RothWhen I will create thick mud, Ricardo, then yes - with white glue. Only for "normal" dust of course not ... 🙂

Roland RothAfter a busy but successful weekend, the chassis is ready for painting😎 👍 (from pic 63)

Roland RothHello, mates ...
My howitzer now is ready to paint - and previously was a lot to glue😉 (from pic 76)
16 May 2015, 17:59
Roland RothThe camoflage is made. However, there was a lot of effort and difficulty. (from pic 93)
The color made problems in the airgun and the Panzer Putty is not very suitable for camo of the Bundeswehr

Holger KranichWhat a nice build so far, Roland! Are the pe´s & rear mudguards included in the kit?
11 January 2016, 10:32
Thomas MayerHattu wieder einmal richtig schön gemacht, Roland!
Wie schätzt du die Anwendung von Panzer Putty ein?
11 January 2016, 11:01
Holger KranichTach Thomas, ich hab das Zeug auch zu Hause. Ist nicht schlecht aber man sollte zügig arbeiten da das Zeug mit der Zeit verläuft/sich verformt. Reagiert halt auf die Erdanziehungskraft. Schön ist, dass es nicht nachfettet. Und es absorbiert Farbreste, nach ein paar Tagen war es wieder komplett schwarz.
11 January 2016, 11:05
Steve killickI've got this one in my stash but as I've already got a completed Revell version I might just do mine in Dutch colours.
11 January 2016, 17:44
Thomas MayerHolgi, ich hab schon meinen Spaß mit Panzer Putty! Erst bekommt man es nicht aus der Dose, dann, zu einer Kugel geformt, zerläuft es in Zeitlupe! Hach!
12 January 2016, 11:29
Roland RothDas mit dem "verlaufen", Thomas, hat man im Griff - so schnell geht das auch nicht.
Aber das Legen der Tarnfleckränder geht bei engen Radien gar nicht.
a) Macht man die Wülste etwas dicker, isses ÄUßERST mühselig, das Muster halbwegs genau hinzukriegen
b) Macht man die Wülste dünner, hat man sehr leicht das "Overspray" und darf (wie ich) viel nacharbeiten
Fazit: Für BW-Flecktarnung nur seeeehr eingeschränkt geeignet.
Von anderen Modellbauern hörte ich, dass hier das UHU TAC um Längen besser sein soll ...
12 January 2016, 17:19
Roland RothLeider weiß ich jedoch nicht, ob das TAC auch so oft wiederverwendbar sein soll (oder ist) wie das Panzer Putty. Das würde die Sache dann wieder relativieren ...
Jedenfalls habe ich gerade die letzten Decals aufgebracht.😉
12 January 2016, 17:56
Holger KranichUhu TAC ist günstiger und wiederverwendbar ABER: Das Zeug klebt tierisch an Details und ist teilweise kaum zu entfernen! Bei Oberflächendetails wie Luken oder Scharnieren werde ich das nie wieder benutzen. Da wird man beim Resteentfernen wahnsinnig...

Thorsten DrescherDie Dose einfach für eine Zeit auf die Heizung legen. Dann wird sie weich und geschmeidig und läßt sich besser verarbeiten. 😉
14 January 2016, 19:22
Roland RothTank howitzer 2000 is provided with decals, the basic detailed painting is finished and the model was sealed with clear cote.
