Hi guys,
this is my first topic here. I had built just a few kits before, not very happy with them anyway, and my last one, 1/35 BR 52 from Trumpeter, which is a bit better, but there is still too much to be done to get good looking kit. I would welcome any comments, ideas, whatever to get better results. I have glued most thing so far, and after more details a want to start with painting. But this is another problem, I cannot find any suitable pictures of lws interior, and the painting scheme from Bronco is not very good to advice colors used inside the cabin. Anybody can help, please?
At the end sorry for my English, I have been living in Ireland since 2004, but came here from Czech with very few words known, so I can still make many funny mistakes. I will put some pictures soon




Yeah, If you wanna see the kits I made before, just visit my website just opened a couple months ago. All sections there are writen in both, English and Czech, there is many pictures of my work and all done things in the gallery.

Your English sure is better than my Italian (I live here since late 2007) - you're doing good, both with the language and the modelling!

Hi liborz, Regarding the Interior color,Model military International has a article on building the kit its in the January issue.From what I can make out the interior is an off white like a panzer interior the guy building it added raw umber rust streaks and a fair bit of chipping to the interior, looks good though.all stored equipment looks to be german grey. hope this helps.

Thanks to everyone for comments, mainly to John for an advice. There are some more pictures of the interior, with just a bit weathering, some more dust and dirt will be added before finish. I will keep that in white (a bit blue shadow in it), with german grey equipment. I´ll be back soon

Hi again,
just one more picture now, I think I am almost done with the interior, but I feel like it still would need something - but what? Any ideas?

And another one, have been thinking what camo use for exterior, cannot decide, just simple german grey or three color camo from the kit box. I really like this one, but it looks more dificult that any camo I have ever painted. So i am a bit scared of it.

Thank you, Jeff
that kit is absolutely fabulous, something too far from things I have ever made
well, this one will give me a good idea to finish my own kit as good as I can.
Thanx a lot!

Another small update, but great bit of work done. Light grey is on now and light green too, just bluegrey to go and german grey for chasis then. I also finished one track, second one is waiting for me now. I hope to paint the smoke deflectors for my Br 52 in between and put them on and I will take some pictures later, ´cause it still raining in this wet country a light is very poor.

Hey there,

I think that you should chip the inside a little more. But it still is super awesome!
I took a look at your website and I saw that you have the DORA!!!!! YOU ARE SO LUCKY!

Hi Q,
thanks for your comment, well, this is my first kit with weathering ever, so I am just trying by bits, always little scared what it can bring. However I hope to get further in time.
Dora is amazing and huge kit and I got a chance to get one from England for about usd 400 including shipping of this 25 kilo heavy box, and that looked like a great deal, because I am focused on railway kits in this scale. I hope the Dora will come on my working bench soon.

Here we are, all the painting has finished, and both tracks built up. Tonight the tapes will come off, so I am wondering what the result will be like. And loads of finishing then.

Hi Lars,
The same I do. Hope that could be done i a week time.
I have checked your kits there, nice ones and good weathering too, maybe you could take pictures closer, to show more details of your work. I am just a beginner, still learning and finding my way
good luck

Your wish becomes reality, however there is many things to be fixed and I will start with washes and some weathering in next days. Still I think that could be gone worse
