  Hi! what colors did you use for the chipping?

• 
  @afv-studio4 күн бұрын

  I use AK11320 with a little white added for the light chips and AK11112 for the dark chipping

  You can get them from Panzer Art FI35-127 Voran using the optional heads and addition of radio headset for commander.

  Thanks Michael 👍 I too have a love/hate thing going on with Dragon. There is a lot I find frustrating with Dragon kits.... But (you could tell there was a 'But' coming.) the thickness of their injection moulding (scale wise) is 'spot on' (side skirt armour comes to mind).

  Your precise and clean construction is to be admired and acknowledged. Keeping everything square & plumb is what challenges me the most. Facing that issue on my Tiger I. Look forward to seeing this painted and weathered! This video will help me when it comes time to build the 'Sexton'.

  Thanks Jim. It wasn't plain sailing with this kit. There were some fit issues with the front plate where it fits to the transmission cover and the kit was short at least 20 track pieces. The gun shield didn't want to play ball also and I had to cut some pieces away to make it fit correctly. Some filling was needed here and there to close gaps. I hope the sexton which I also have coming is better 🫣

  @@afv-studio Wow! That is a lot of issues to overcome. You are not the first person to note the shortfall of track links with the M7, I fear that may also be the case with the Sexton too. It's basically the same chassis, perhaps Dragon simply used the same for both vehicles. With all the issues you overcame my admiration has increased!

  Well done. I made this kit also and I enjoyed the build. There is more very good Pumas on the market now (RMF, MiniArt), but Dragon is a Dragon. BTW. what colour do you use for wooden handles of the tools? I like the tone, looks realistic.

• 
  @afv-studio26 күн бұрын

  Thanks, I like to use AK's Light Earth for tools that would have Hickory or Ash handles. A bit of Burnt Sienna wash over the Light Earth will add a bit of age and variation to the final look. Green Ochre is another tone i use which is more Oak looking

  @garylawless360826 күн бұрын

  Fantastic result with the Puma! I have enjoyed this build, as I have one in my stash that I will start soon, and this will be very helpful. I don’t know if I can emulate your work on the camo, so I might settle for something easier as my airbrush skills need improving a little. Look forward to your next project.

• 
  @afv-studioАй бұрын

  Thanks Greg. Believe it or not, this is the 1st time I've attempted this pattern. Its not perfect by any means. But seeing the needle tip and trusting that the airbrush will deliver the expected flow of paint is really key I guess because there is no room for error like there is for larger block patterns.

  I think these may be Panzer Art. I purchased a whole tub of resin figures from someone locally who was getting rid of. No boxes but I'm sure I saw them with different heads on the Panzer Art website. My commander had no head so I just grabbed something suitable out of the tub and mad it fit.
