Stencils for a club-themed finish on the Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzer in the colors of the football team from Gelsenkirchen, 1:35 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
A football club from Gelsenkirchen and a modern German self-propelled howitzer make a combination nobody would think of, and yet a whole set of stencils has been left behind by it. The Panzerhaubitze 2000 is a tracked 155 mm system with an unusually long barrel, an automatic loader and the ability to lay several rounds so that they land on the target at the same time. The Bundeswehr introduced it in the second half of the 1990s and it was gradually taken up by the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Lithuania and Ukraine as well.
Models in a colorful finish hold a special position among collectors: they stand out from the row of green and brown hulls and you cannot miss them on a show table. At the same time they are extremely demanding to execute, because on a uniform surface every imperfect edge and every seepage of paint under an edge shows. This is exactly where a stencil pays off most.
A barrel 52 calibers long sends an ordinary round over thirty kilometers, and considerably further with special ammunition. The loading is handled by an automatic system, so the crew can keep up a high rate of fire without physical exhaustion. The whole outfit can also stop from a drive, fire and set off again before the other side manages to fix the firing position.
Light tones have poor covering power, so a proper base coat belongs under them, ideally a white one. Spread the work over several evenings and deal with the barrel separately, off the hull. Let the last coat really cure before lifting the film off, otherwise what is meant to stay will come away with it.
The package holds stencils and nothing more. The howitzer and the paints have to be obtained separately.
