Gaming Dragon32 297 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Up next is a German panzer 4 ausf H. I'm pretty sure this is the H variant although it's labeled as G on the box This model is from the maker ZVEZDA I haven't made any models from this company before but they looked pretty good and had decent reviews so I thought I'd give one a go. Pictures of the box. Whitch is more of a cover as all the model is in a plain cardboard box inside this Pictures of the parts and frames. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also you can see small details like weld marks as well on the casting 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Always liked these detailed looks and great to be able to use one for a model https://youtu.be/94yvc_BB-2M 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaming Dragon32 297 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Little bit of progress. Was trying to paint some of the bigger parts with my paint gun but it didn't want to work so gave up. Planning on buying a more expensive paint gun as the one I currently have was only cheap and we believe it's blocked somewhere that it can't be cleaned iris stopping it working properly. But here are a few little details iv done 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaming Dragon32 297 Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Some more details on the back also mixed a paint for the exhaust and little thing on the back. Mixed a water based rust and oil based black. Didn't think they would mix but I managed to get them to mix and it looks great. The back. the front. figured out that they are sloping toward eachother slightly. Almost didn't see it but I had seen on the tank in WarThunder. So was actually looking to see if it was sloped on the model. and last but not least the exhaust box. Before. A mix of Rust and Gunmetal.looked a bit too shiny for my liking After. Also tryed to keep the mounting bands clean of this rusty looking color. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaming Dragon32 297 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 So a little late as I thought I had posted about this already. But did some more on the first steps. Including cutting part of the casting out of the hull and then cleaning the sides of the plate that goes in the hole. Looks quite neat and not very noticeable that it was a separate part. I have noticed with this model that the parts seam very well made so fit very well. Also put the track tensioners on the back with the rest. I did find I had to clean the paint off some parts as they fitted so tightly it was causing issues. And lastly I just test fitted the back plate to the hull. Again it fits perfectly into place. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaming Dragon32 297 Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Bit more of an update. I did forget to take some photos of painting some parts but I got some of it. So far iv painted the exhaust box with a mix of Rust and german gray.That gave it a good look glued the parts together then touched it up with rust. and glued it into place.Also glued these little covers in place. then i put these parts on. and gave them a touch of paint. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
