Schwerer Panzerspähwagen - 1/35 Gunze Sangyo
Posted: August 17th, 2017, 7:46 pm
Hello,
I'm Chris from the North East of Scotland and have spent many years modeling, some might say playing with 1/35 German WWII Armour.
A couple of years ago I got fed up with individual track links and tiny bits of etch brass for tool handles that i totally stopped.
I then crossed over into the 'dark side' and built a couple of GERMAN WWII ME110'S, one 1/72 and one 1/48. It seems I just swapped track links for canopy masks, just as small and still a pain in the @*£" to complete, but I enjoyed it and I then thought of Armour again.
Having a tidy up I found a built Schwerer Panzerspähwagen - 1/35 by Gunze Sangyo still waiting to be painted. A further tidy up and I found the tools, Hoorah.
Now this is where you come into the equation, The camo scheme, and what to pick.
At present it's in a fairly flat, dusty German dark yellow, but what next. I thought about a rough winter white wash? Then next idea was using aeroplane camo masks to mask it up and use either red/brown or dark green or both? Maybe then turn it into an ambush scheme? Or something else, but not sure what.
So any ideas you have or links you can pass on would be truly helpfull
Thanks for looking and hoping to hear what thoughts you have.
Och I'
Chris.
PS.. it won't be tartan!!!
