I don't have one. But ancestry DNA says I'm 2% Russian.

Mild chipping and... My first time doing all of the pin washes with enamels. Not sure if I'm pleased or not. They certainly don't flow as well as oils... but dry a lot faster.
The details pop a little more... Not sure how much weathering to do, really. Maybe a little dust and dirt. Maybe some rain marks. But nothing too drastic.

Dear Gaz, the whole scene looks very convincing and the chair gives some extra attraction to the whole appearance. There are some pics around showing Weyroster "relaxing" in that chair. The finish on the 109 is very even and exact executed especially the zig-zag patteron on the wings. What kit did you use for the 109.. I only had troubles with the different pitch of the prop blades as this seemed to be exaggerated, even for variable pitch, but maybe that is due to my kink in vision....or did I miss that detail on the referrence pics?
Regards Joachim
Joachim,
Thank you. Before this build, I never really gave the propeller pitch much thought. I really just tried to make all three even. The kit is the Revell 109G6. I may try to g=fix it later. I don;t know how well the CA would hold. If you want to see the complete build thread, it is here;

Looking fabulous, Rob! The detail work is outstanding. The exterior paintwork is very noteworthy!

Great start Gary! Will follow this closely like all your builds.
Thank you, Kai!

. A build thread, great. I will follow, as I browsed my Russian armor stash recently and found some intriguing boxes. I bought some nice Russian figures three days ago, to accompany the tanks, so maybe this will be one of my next builds.
I really like your scratch work Gaz, but what's the idea behind? Why did you strip the rubber off the rims. You mentioned ash, will this be a burned out tank?
What's the meaning behind the Cyrillic title, which translates to Frankentank? So many questions
.
Cheers Rob
Hi Rob,
Thank you! The Cyrillic was just to grab attention... we have so many Russian speakers here, it seems. Frankentank... the reference to Frankenstein is a common American way to describe something cobbled together from parts that don;t really belong. ...because it's part Dragon and part Tamiya. And yes... it will be burned out. Some hatches open of course. It's to be a companion of the Marder IID. It was that, or try to build an isba. Due to the 5 months spent on the 109 I feel like my model-completion count is low. So, I decided on the tank.
Anyway... it'll be my second destroyed tank... the other was this Valentine:
Anyway... I hope you like it.

Happy modelling!

Somehow... I started this in the wrong section. Must have been the bourbon. My apologies.
Anyway... Here is the recap from the first post.
A few years back....
...before I knew about LSM, I think...
... I built this prancing pony after being inspired by a scene in the movie Cross of Iron. It was made from two kits... the turret was Tamiya. the hull and mobile suspension was Dragon. To get the right feel to the tracks, I used resin tracks by somebody or another.
... The name on the Turret is "Suvarov".
So now I find myself with a Dragon turret, magic tracks, and other parts... And a Tamiya hull and other parts...
...and I saved all of the directions...
... anyway... it might be fun.
Thank you to all of you who replied to the other thread.

I applied a honey colored filter to blend the three colors a bit. Added the final pieces and decals today... though the four main assemblies are still only dry fitted. Not sure How I'll squeeze the crew in. Probably will have to put them in boiling water. I'll do some light surface chipping before I hit it with washes.

Nice work, Kevin.
Regarding the tools, the jury is still out. Though I imagine they wouldn't have been painted while the base color was being laid on at the factory. Other than that...
keep up the good work.

Looks great Rob. I've always liked the Polish insignia. Guess I just prefer the angular insignia to little circles. The paint looks awesome. Preferable to a uniform coating.

Thanks Rob. A long way to go on the tracks. Still some touches to do on the Panzer Jager itself.
