Daniel_Roxy Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 This should be a reletivly quick build. A nice little Pak 40 I haven't done a ambush or AT gun before so should learn some things on this. Model is made by Tamiya 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel_Roxy Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Ok small update. I decided I'd try painting the wheels. I have pained the centers of them but the color is very similar to the plastic colour 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Looking forward to this..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel_Roxy Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Ok I have just realized the paint I have painted the wheels with is a metal color. So it's got abit of a shine to it. I'm not happy with this so I have ordered Matt black and also a German Grey paint to use for this model and any future ones. When they arrive. I will re paint the wheels. In the meantime Im going to do my best to get the black paint off of them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 You do not necessarily have to remove the existing black, will you be using acrylic or enamel for the matt? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be using Humbrol Enamel paint. But it's only the rings that I'm not happy with as they also had a bumpy look to them. I believe this is partly as the paint I used is also past it's best. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel_Roxy Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Another small update. Got the breach in and moving freely Breach closed Breach Open I am incredibly happy with this small detail. As it was very fiddly to get in place and took a fair bit of fiddling and adjustment.

Daniel_Roxy Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Ok have done some small details and mostly been painting parts. stuck afew parts together as well like the mount the gun slides in and 2 parts that hold one side of that. The gun can also slide pretty freely in it's cradle now as well. Sadly lost most of the time I had planned to spend today doing this model. Trying to fix the lights on my car. At least that's done now so back to making tanks and stuff. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
