German Panzerkampfwagen E-100 (3)

After some more research, I have found that the hangers were mis-positioned. I have added back some of the parts from the original kit and put on more hangers at a more appropriate place. And just for a little touch, I have added a couple of drink can pieces around the tools as well. After all the details have settled, I have started straight on the painting work. I have tried the hair-spray paint chipping this time just to see how it work with Gunze paints. I have laid a Gunze #8 silver over all the parts. On the lower hull and barrel, I will be painting the anti-rust primer layer. I have mixed the paint with simple Gunze black and red paints. A slight layer of clear red and clear yellow were also sprayed randomly around the lower hull.

For this tiny little kit, I have a little mods on the details around it. The first thing I have done is to chopped the fenders apart as I really don't like the shape of this fatty and huge fenders. I have added the details within the fenders with thin plastic sheets while the thickness of the fender are thinned down. Then I have recreated the hangers on the wall of the turret with alumiumn can.

And putting all these together in addition to some residue parts from my previous King Tiger, the tank is almost ready for paint. I will start working on the edges of the plasitcs as some final touches.

It has been really a long time since my last AFV advanture. At the moment, I will be joining a group of local builders on the topic of anit-rust primer tanks. As it has really been so long I have started any tanks, I think it will be good if I were to started with some simpler ones, let's say a 1:72 Dragon German Panzer E-100! This prototype tank allows a better range in terms of historical references, which I hardly have time to go thougth. So it will be a imaginary livery and a very straight from box build.

So, decals were all done and were actually sealed "between" layers of metal primer. Afterwards I had a layer of Gunze GX100 clear coat to flatten the gloss over the entire flight. The chrome decals desolved a little bit but are still bright. I will have to get rid of the landing gears to complete the kit.

After struggling for some decent hours, the flight is painted with the same 2009 M1 blue from Ricebox. And I started to applied those tiny and delicated chrome decals. Works have been hard on the decals as they are chrome decal that are much more delicated than other Cartograf decals.

It has been a very long while since I have started this kit. I was trying to use this kit as a test for the paint on the Yamaha M1. But I have stopped working on it because of all the tedious sanding and fitting work to be done, which I found myself the least enjoying at all. But the pending box of the parts has always annoyed me quite a lot as it is on the top of all my stuffs on my desk. So I have decided to work it out this time after months of abandon.

After some lazy and slow progress, the bike is done! I have added a few more wires and some finishing touches with the acrylics. Some details are highlighted but sadly the scale really limited the display.... Anyway, it is nice to get this done as a little diorama objects for my upcoming figures.
