Stefan SchachtHi mates, here is another new project from me. I want to build the M60 out of the box with a small simple display. I used plywood and Styrodur for the display. Cheers Stefan

Stefan SchachtHello mates, here are some new pictures. The wooden frame for the base is painted and I started to build the road. I also continued to build on the tank. First I fixed the wheels with colorstop and then glued the chain together. So I can disassemble everything again for painting. Cheers Stefan

Stefan SchachtThank you Łukasz and David for your very kind comments. Here is the next update. The base is ready, except for some mud. I'll aplly it when I weather the tank. Althoughthe kit fits very well, next I will fill a few small gaps on the tank. Cheers Stefan

Stefan SchachtHello friends, here are a few pictures from the model after assembling. Now the painting starts with the primer. I will mix the colors myself to paint the MERDC camouflage scheme. I use artists acrylic colors and wants to airbrush the camouflage scheme freehand for the first time. Cheers Stefan

Łukasz GlińskiLooking forward to seeing the spraying results. Not sure if freehand is a good idea in the braille scale, but fingers crossed! 👍

Stefan SchachtThx mates for your interest. Today I mixed the two basic colors for the MERDC camouflage scheme. Then I used a plastic spoon to test the colors and airbrush a weathered look. I first used white instead of sand to test. I will mix the color in the next few days and weather the spoon with oil paints. Cheers Stefan

Thomas K.Hi Stefan, Is it not easier to buy the MERDC Color set von AK? You have the colors for all variants. Also the NEW Formular is great.
I have the same kit. I will build in nearly future😉

Stefan SchachtHi Thomas, thanks for the tip, I have not used the AK colors until now. I like the Vallejo and Hansa colors because I can do anything with them 🙂. The M60 is a very good kit, have fun 🙂
Cheers Stefan

Spanjaardi agree with Stefan. why not mixing colors? no need to buy a hundred different boxes with "colors for xyz". you can not buy them all 🙂

Thomas K.I like the ammo of mig colors,. They have a good smooth and the color sortiment is was i need. The vallejo, i haved it, but they are to "plastic" and go close the airbrush Very fast. Also i am comfortable And DON'T like to Mix. It iis your opion what will you do. So i respect it too.

Spanjaardof course Thomas. some people add details by scratch, other by after market, other not at all. with paints, it is exactly the same 🙂

Stefan SchachtI think that there are now a number of good color systems available, so that everyone can find his way. Sometimes I also use a color set to try something 🙂
