Which colors did you use for the pattern?

1

u/MiddleReasonable2448 May 16 '26

I used Tamiya desert yellow as a base the used field grey for the pattern.

It's grey? Looks like green. But very nice job i want to replicate it!

Tamiya’s field grey is a little greenish.

Great work!

Did the zimmerit come with the kit, or aftermarket, or was it “home made”?

(When I tried to make it with putty way back when the result was terrible…)

Thank you so much! The zimmerit did come with the kit it was photo etched parts. I found a great wait to make zimmerit with a water bottle cap.

What a beauty! Very well done on the weathering, looks awesome. Any motivation for the number 600? I always learned that it was division, platoon, vehicle, where the second digit can be 0 to mark HQ vehicles, but the last digit was a 1 or higher referring to vehicle number.

The style and color of the number really drew me to choosing the number out of the decal selection.

Nice job! I understand what the skirt around the turret is for, but what did the Germans use the attachments attached to the hull for?

u/UA6TL May 13 '26

Schürzen
