This is the Dragon kit #6186 of the Panzer IB. It went together very well without any major problems, however I did change out the rear idler’s for a correct set, as the kit has only the early ones included.
I painted this one with AK Interactives Panzer Gray Modulation set, which is acrylic water base. It has 6 colors in order to modulate your Panzer gray. ( I think I still need practice for this technique.)
I also used AK’s Filter for Panzer Gray, their Track wash, and their Metal pigment for tracks, along with streaking grime for Panzer Gray.
a pretty good build for me. The tracks were a pain as I’ve never built German Indie tracks before, and these were pretty small.
Nice looking build. I have the same kit in the stash and i think i am going to use the same markings. Nice to hear it went together well. I didn’t know that about the rear idlers. Where did you get the replacements from.
Bish, LionMarc makes a resin set for it, Set No. AW-90001 but its a bit hard to find, I have it on my watch list. The ones I used for this kit came out of the Panzerjager I Dragon kit #6258, which had the correct Idlers.
Nice little build, especially something so tiny. I like the tracks. I also dig those red numbers as it offers a contrast to the grey. DId you paint the rear tail-ight on the left hand side? Not sure of the correct colors.
Great job! I too love the rust effect you achieved on the muffler guard. Very cool. The streaking and grimy bits look pretty sweet too. I really like the markings/turret numbers - those part of the Ib kit? I have a few Pz I chassis kits in my stash… maybe this year. [;)]
Hasenpfeffer (aka: Dave), the kit comes with 5 different marking options, I chose the 7.PzDiv, France 1940, mainly because I liked the large red numbers and thought it would give some nice contrast the other markings are more subdued.
the muffler guard was painted a base coat of gray, then covered with a couple of layers of AK’s track rust pigment rubbed in and then 2 other rusty colors of pigments applied randomly with a brush.
