#3 Tristar Panzer I Ausf A *COMPLETED*

Hey Andy,

I too am really wanting to build a Panzer II. I think the Dragon one has an interior similar to my Panzer I.

I'd like to build one of the bigger 1/24 Tasca Panzer II's but they take up too much precious space! !/35 will be fine.

We both like our early German Panzers and German SPG's so we'll have to both keep our eyes peeled.

After the StuG is complete I'll have two kits left in the stash. Two Dragon kits; the stunning Sherman IC Hybrid Firefly (my Grandad drove a Firefly in WWII so I want a good Firefly build on a base-my Aunt is looking for photos of him during WWII in his tank of which apparently there are loads but they are having trouble finding them) and the Marder III Ausf M Command Vehicle - a real mega kit with soooo many sprues!

We could look at a Panzer II GB and run it ourselves - we'll have to put the feelers out to guage interest? Something for the Summer maybe?

Lovely finished build by the way my friend, I'm loving her!

Andy,

Something I've rediscovered for flat coating is Polly Scale flat coat.  It's acrylic and you can airbrush it straight out of the bottle.  I'm looking forward to the next  deafpanzer installment.

Cheers

Dave

Andy I love it beautiful finish. Well Done.

Terry.

Dave & Terry- Sorry it took me long to get back to you guys.  I will look into that polly thing at upcoming show this Saturday.  Thanks for the nice comments.

Ben- Let's hope there will be a perfect GB after June.  Stay in touch.

the wooden tool handles look real 

Thanks Sprue!  It was one of many great tips I learned here on FSM.  I used MM Wood (enamel) as base coat.  W&N oil paint Raw Umber lightly thinned using a stiff paintbrush like one of those cheap Testor kind to make streaks and let it dry for more than 24 hours before you can weather it.
