Kettenkrad 1/72

[Dr. Armor_72]

Dear fellow modelers,

This time, I present a quick build of a small 1/72 Kettenkrad mo

del. It is a 3D-printed kit with a few minor upgrades. The most interesting part of the build was experimenting with the three-color camouflage paint scheme.

I read the title and thought, "That's going to be tiny" Very good paintwork there.

three-color camo

Amazing you even found room for three colours at that scale!

That's a really big battery!

Very good paintwork there

Could be better. However, I realised an interesting thing - purely acrylic paints (AK or A.MIG) are more or less OK for painting basic colour like dunkel gelb on this model, while they are not very useful for painting small red and green spots on such a scale. In fact, Tamiya and especially AK RC are very good for tiny camo airbrush painting.

Yeah! That is my famous fake battery!

Wait, you airbrush at that scale? What size nozzle?

Yes. This was airbrushed camo - 0.2 mm nozzle, Harder and Steenbeck ULTRA at around 20 psi, and A.MIG 7100 set of paints with AK 3G thinner (something like 1 to 1).
