Responsibility details are not available.
Resin figures in 1:35 from the figure line of the maker PANZER ART. It is not a vehicle kit but a crew intended for turret hatches — that is an add-on that is fitted into an already built model. The name states that the poses are carried out for the turrets of the Pz. III and Pz. IV tanks; with other types it is therefore always necessary to try the hatch dry.
Execution. The clothing is the so-called Panzerjacke (short tanker jacket) — the short jacket of tank crews with a slanted fastening and without long skirts. For a modeler a particular painting task follows from that: a small area of cloth, a pronounced line of the fastening and a collar that dominates the upper outline of the figure. That is exactly why these figures are worth painting before they are fitted into a hatch, while they are still accessible from every side.
Wash the castings in lukewarm water with dish soap, separate the casting blocks with a saw or a knife and sand the faces down wet with your airways protected. Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate). With figures for a hatch, try the seating dry first — the lower edge usually has to be adjusted so that the figure sits in the opening at a natural height and neither hangs above it nor sinks into it.
Painting a dark jacket. Dark clothing is the hardest painting task of the whole figure. Never use pure black as the base — the area will then swallow all the detail. Proceed from a very dark gray with a hint of blue or brown, lighten the edges and the folds by two or three steps and on the contrary leave the shadow only in the deepest places. Handle the contrast with light rather than by adding black. Build the skin separately, from a base tone through glazing to the details of the face. At the end bring the whole figure together with a matte clear coat and leave only the metal details semi-matte.
The figures are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
