Good Job Petr!
The tarp and Flag(?) are realy smooth, and have some great detail in their folds. Maybe just one point of attention at the right side, the most frontal stowage bin... it looks like there is a small point of damage?

Good luck!

i hope for you.
i see you have magic scuple?
and how have you make the wooden boxes.
and can you make more photos of the model, please.

Hello!
Boxes are from balsa wood sticks - easy to cut with sharp knife, glued with instant cement - fast en effitient.
NO MAGIC SCULP I use thin chirurgic gloves for such purposes - see on photo with another material "from house"

Ahoj Petr, vítám vás !

Hope to see some more pictures of this model when you start painting it 🙂

Perhaps we can see your model live one day, be it on a Dutch modelling show or at a modelling show in the Czech Republic ?

Succes,

Peter.

Hey Petr,

like the idea of using surgical gloves for tarps and bags.
Which glue do you use to keep it together (the surgical gloves-rubber, I mean).

Robert
Hi Robert!
I use normal instant cement (as used for PE parts). I it is immediately dry and fixes the glove very strongly in every demanded position.
 
very good idea about these gloves.
And which paint can you use on it?

By the way, nice model. Pitty it isn't british. 😉

best regards,
Maarten

To be honest this is my first time using the gloves for this purposes. I will ungrease it first of all (as I do on whole model) than apply surfacer (tamiya from can) and than airbrush with acrylic. I hope there will be no problems. This method was already used by some guys, it made them no troubles...
 
Hi Petr,

Insane stuff this is...1:48. I become rheumatic just by looking at it. I also really like the subject you chose and can't wait for it's paintjob.

Please update soon 😉

All the best

Hello, I´ve started with airbrushing of my M8. Enamels Olive drab (Tamiya) + Interior green (Humbrol) as basic colour and then I broke up the surface with adding Dunkelgelb, buff and white to the basic colour. (not at one time but step by step, cca 8 irregulary airbrushed various tones). Now the stripes are to come....
Regards Petr
