Revell 1:35 TPz-1 "Fuchs"

[Andy]

I built what I assume is an older kit (based on the box and level of detail) a while back but had many many issues with it. Anything from fitting issues, to varnish issues (that was my own fault), broken and lost pieces, and many other problems. I put it away due to lack of interest, and picked it up again to practice some weathering techniques since I'm more of a car guy. I plan to practice these techniques for my current build (which I also posted a thread about), the 1:72 Dragon IJA type 97 "Chi-Ha".

Most effects on this build are pretty exaggerated, and to get a feel of how some of them work and just to practice.

The kit's no where near finished. It's only got some basic chipping done with the hairspray technique, some highlights, and light brown filter.

Sorry about the blurry pictures. It's the result of an average phone camera and harsh lighting. I plan to get nice pictures out eventually.
The gloss coat is also interfering with the light.

Any criticism and advice is gladly accepted!

Oho! The TPz Fuchs...
I love this vehicle but it's a rare kit and scarce on 1/35 scale - shame!
Thanks for sharing...

P.S.: which colors did you apply?

[Andy]

Oh wow is it really? I picked it up at my local hobby shop for real cheap.

I made a mix of some vallejo game color greens. I could only find game color and not the air model colors locally :/

The under chip color is a very very dark brown made with just a bunch of random mix of paints I found lying around

Thanks for your reply Andy!
As far as I know Revell sells and distributes this kit in 1/35 scale not any more. So you are a lucky guy to snatch one !

Cheers mate...
