On The Bench - Revell/Italeri 1/35 Pzkw 38(t)

Rescued from the Box of Shame while doing some cleaning up, this little survivor had been mostly built, and then, for reasons lost in the lore of my past, was stored and ignored. 

All it needed was a little paint and some decals.

Not looking for a hyperaccurate match of a prototype (See Tiger 222 post), I used on hand materials for a generic 38 on the first day of Fall Gelb, so freshly shopped, not heavily worn or weathered. GS H32 Field Gray stood in for Panzer Gray, decals were salvaged from the ever-growing pile of Not On This Kit leftovers.

So. Many. Rivets. Need to get the Armor Wash and good brush. This may take a while...

Quite a contrast with the late war behemoths I typically model. 

I still had to complete the Tank Commander figure. 

Flat spray helped tone down the sheen.

A coat of black and flesh enamels as primer leaves him looking zombie-ish.

Acrylic flesh tones. 

A full set of acrylic colors and shades, and a little enamel semi-gloss on his belt. He doesn't look like an Aryan Conqueror much, but the sculpt is the sculpt ;-).

Ready to invade France.
