Dragon 1:144 Scale Panzer Corps

  This set was originally a Jagdpanzer IV L70A and Flammpanzer but I kitbashed the Flammpanzer into a Hetzer by sanding down the barrel.  The base color is a mixture of Polly Scale Acrylic Paint, while the camo on the Jagdpanzer is mixtures of Testors and Model Master Enamels.  I painted the treads and Hetzer Machine-gun with a "gun-metal" mixture I mixed with tamiya black and a drop or two of Tamiya Silver.  The treads were then painted with a rust colored mixture of Polly Scale Paints and then dry brushed with Tamiya dull Aluminum to add depth and wear.  the undercarriage parts and exhaust pipes were also painted with the rust mixture.  Some of the rust mixture was reduced to a wash to add rust and dust weathering.  I "painted" the rubber tires with a Sharpie marker and then touched them up with Tamiya black.  I also made a wash with the Tamiya Black to add depth to the vents on the Jagdpanzer.  The tools were painted with the "gun-metal" mixture and brown.  The gun barrels and exhaust stacks were drilled out and painted Tamiya Black.  The periscope was also painted with Tamiya Black.   I enjoyed these little models to the extent that I think I will become 1:144 scale addict.  Even though you must be very precise with the details, there is less area to cover. Pictures follow.
