SPA Modeler

I had, at one time, harbored thoughts of doing the Panther and Pershing from the Cologne tank battle detailed in "Spearhead. I have since decided That is a foolish decision for many reasons. Mostly, I don't have the hands and patience anymore. So, just building this for fun.



I actually broke out the airbrush, a Gaahleri. I love the pistol grip. But, jeez Louise, these tanks have a crap load of wheels....





decided to go ahead and do some of the camo. The yellow is a combination of Tamiya Desert Yellow, oversprayed with some Tamiya TS-3 Dark Yellow. I used Mission Models RotBraun RAL 8017 and Tamiya Olive Green.

Looking good, my friend Lyle! You is off to a great start. Ain't that pistol-grip Gaahleri the tits!?! I love mine so much.

Double D's all around! nice on the hands. Now, if I can get my stale, old, crusty brain around installing the road wheels.....

You is a mess, brother! You got this. Tanks are fun. They just are.

Lyle, I do believe you and I are on the same page with this Panther of yours; aren't these about the same colors?

Bravo, Lyle!!! That looks really good! Well done!

Looks like it. Like Henry Ford may have said said, “Any color(s) you want, as long as it is Desert Yellow, Rot Braun and dark Olive!”

Thank you, Tom! I’m quite happy with it.

Superb bit of painting that Lyle - very well done, I'm really impressed!

What're these trigger type airbrushes you and Gary have?
