Holy cow!!
Without your finger or the match stick It could be 1/48.
This is a wickedly detailed kit for braille scale Eryk!
She's going to look really cool after you work your magic on her.

Post by **Coen** » Sat Apr 05, 2014 9:29 am

That's an amazing amount of detail for 72nd... and it's Zvezda!!!!!
WOW!
I like that you added damaged side skirts. That's going to look really cool when she's painted up.
Nice work Eyrk!

Im was impressed when i look indoors box - Its Russian work???? > impossible hehe For 1:72 scale details are super....I think that Model with not all parts-skirts will be better interesting. You right my friend.

Never done a 1:72 and Iam a newbie but making small scale seems so much more difficult. Ive broken off so many parts of my !:35 panzer IV now that im running out of superglue. Tnx for the inspiration.

Post by **PaulAyrey** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:09 pm

Looks awesome, especially considering the scale you are doing a great job!

they arnt as bad they look, I'm a 72scale King Tiger from dragon in this section too, and the only big difference between big scale and little scale I find is you need to be a little more patient with them, and any little bit of work you put into them really shines on your model

would really recommend you try a new Zvezda, Dragon or Revell and see if you like them as they are for the most part great kits

Shane

Post by **AchtungPanzer** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:48 pm

Thanx very much Paul

P.s. Schane is right: Dragon, Zvezda , Revell is the best choice ..and yet Unimodels (UM) ...In 1:72 a lot verrrry small parts to gluing and after painting + my anachronic painting technique with only tradidional brushes - not easy to good effect

, but i working only in 1:72 & 1:76 scale and brushes - for me is good fun . My next model after this Panther will be a Pz.kpfw III M from Revell - "only" 189 parts, details and this tank in this scale is sooo big > 7cm long

- for me will be diabolic challenge mates .

Post by **gustavlekstal** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:14 pm

Do you glue with a brush? What kind of glue are u using?

Post by **AchtungPanzer** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:28 pm

No

I painting my models brushes numbers 000 -2 mate .

Post by **gustavlekstal** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 9:31 pm

Ok now I understand. But what kind of glue do you use? Must be a very thin? Or do you do it the russian way and just force em together?

Post by **AchtungPanzer** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 12:31 am

Gustav i use polish glue Wamod and Super Glue + pin to work with.

Post by **wappynutter** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 12:36 am

Just saying on my North Africa BOFORS Thread, I do like this Zvezda Piece very much Eryk....

I am watching the same kit on Ebay,
