Very nice, considering the scale you captured it very well.

Jose,

Looking good with the paint on, I am sure your techniques will set the one color paint scheme apart from the rest that tend to not draw second looks.

Post when you have the 'Master Modeler's Italian Vacation Villa & Winery'  up & running. Booking early in January for the 2011 season?

Looking great! Yes Believe me I thought it was a 1/35 kit until I saw the picture you had the Puma placed next to paint bottles.  OMG!  You could have easily fool us that it was a 1/35.  I didn't read your subject very carefully... Embarrassed

Will be following this...

Jose, I've always believed that details are really secondary to how you finish a model. Who really cares if it doesn't have ten pounds of photo-etch or fancy buckles and straps? It's what you do with what you have that matters, and what you have done so far is magnificent!

THAT'S what's important in my book!

1/48 Italeri Puma
Posted by Jose_Luis_Lopez on Saturday, November 27, 2010 5:07 PM

I´ve always loved Puma ... and recent Italeri´s  release convinced me to make one . Anyway, I feel very disapointed with this model ...

Details are really poor on tools (the jack ... to cry) and most of all, the jerry cans attachment, so special and typical in this vehicle. The gun is also a little under sized. Just the fit of the plastic pieces is fine. I just need putty in a few few parts.

So, I just add some little "make up" to the kit in order to get a little more realistic vechicle. Tamiya Jerry cans with some PE strips, some Hauler tools here and there and the Armo Pz III gun barrel (I used the kit´s muzzle brake), Aber width poles ...

Not an exhaustive detailing work, just a little step up to achieve a worthy vehicle.

Gaso.line ... Hauler ... please, release a detailing set for this one!

A vignette from Reality in Scale

A color modulation base

Some chipping

And this is the situation of the painting process now:

Hope that I´ll finish this one in a week .... stay tunned!

Thanks for looking!
