SUPER PACK KURSK Weathering

SUPER PACK KURSK Weathering from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

SUPER PACK KURSK Weathering is a themed set of weathering products. The subject is the hardware deployed in the Kursk area in 1943 and the marks that the local conditions left on it.

What conditions the set deals with

The Kursk salient lies in a black earth region where in the summer months dry spells alternate with violent thunderstorms. For a modeler that means a double task. On the one hand the light dusty deposit that settles on horizontal surfaces and fills the gaps in the running gear. On the other the dark, greasy-looking soil that cakes onto the tracks after rain and splashes high up the sides. It is this contrast that makes a vehicle from the Eastern Front recognizable at first glance.

Where to aim the products

• the tracks, the wheels and the lower areas of the hull
• the horizontal surfaces of the turret and the area above the engine
• around the hatches and the places where the crew climbs aboard
• scrapes and worn places on the edges of the fenders

Who the set is for

It is aimed at builders of hardware in a scale that lets weathering show, and at dioramas with a summer steppe landscape. The exact make-up of the package is stated on the box of the set; plan the procedure according to the particular vehicle. Work from the lighter layers to the darker ones and leave a pause between them. Always grade the deposit by height: heaviest near the ground, lightest at the top, otherwise the vehicle looks evenly dusted and therefore lifeless.

Do not breathe the powdered products, keep the liquid ones out of the reach of children and make sure of ventilation while you work.
