Sure you can Anthony!
im gonna start the sdkfz 251 today…upon recieving all the refrence pics i need and i just finnished my F-14 tomcat
im gonna superinsanelydetail this thing, all by scratchbuilding!
So are we allowed to start?
“So are we allowed to start?”
Yes, I already have.
O.k. here are my progress pic’s, they are a bit blurry - sorry. It has a black primer coat (a quick coat) The only thing that I do not like is that there was a loss in detail on the road wheels, you will see what I mean when I am done.
So here are two pic’s. Enjoy!
started my sdkfz251…the panel needed a lot of extra detail… the entire interior is just crap. i needed to do sooo much scratchtbuilding and i dont even have the seats on!!!
i just need to paint the driver and put him in then i can glue everything and get the interior in. didnt buy a driver took a panther tank driver, put his a$$ under a flame and formed his legs to fit the controls.

Anthony, I think you are crazy for priming with black. The only color you will be effectively be able to paint over it, is well, black. All the possible german camouflage options all use light and medium colors, but no dark ones. Perhaps you are going to give it a custom paint job? Also is that gloss black? I recommend using a light flat gray for priming. It makes detail easy to see and it can easily be painted over. I hardly ever prime to be honest. I spot prime over putty spots.
Dj I take it you are building the 1/35 Tamiya one? It is an outdated kit with numerous errors, but it makes a good model to look at, well not the interior at least. The AFV Club and Dragon ones are far better. The AFV club one has the most detail and correct overhang, but for more than the Dragon ones with all the extra goodies.
I’ll repost this:
I am nearly done with assembly of my M-26 Pershing. All the body and details have been assembled. The wheels and tracks are off along with the side panels.
Looking good! ryanpm,
It is flat black, it just looks glossy, I prime black because it tends to make the base colour darker, I am working on the track now - they are hell, so small!, when I am done I will take a shot of it with the the base, camo on. After I am going to add a wash - maybe, and some Tamiya Buff.
O.k. here it is nearly done, just need to finish the tracks and weather, plus decals, and thats it.
Does anyone have some reference materiels for a t-11? cant find any pics on the web, and all of my pics from the books are blurry and from a distance.
ryanpm- yeah its the tamiya…its really has no good interior…but i dont mind it being crappy…i like taking reject, and bad kits and turning them into awesome ones!! i do anything for a good deal… like my revell F-4 wildcat…wow…NO INTERIOR!!! HARDLY A INSTRUMENT PANEL… but i made it look awesome…
started on the wheels…man i hate painting the little rubber threads on the wheels…ugh… but it has to be done
