Thank you, this is a great in depth tutorial. Explaining all the paint types and methods used is missing from many tutorials, which makes it hard for newbies like myself. I have a Hetzer built and will follow this tutorial. 👍
A very nice looking Hetzer! I’m currently building a n Academy Hetzer kit. Your part #1 video has been extremely helpful. And your part #2 video will be helpful when I get to the airbrushing and weathering. What air pressure do you use when airbrushing AK Interactive 3rd Generation paints. Thank you for posting both Hetzer videos. Larry
Thank you Larry! My air pressure is usually around 2 Bar. But the AK 3rd gen paints must be thinned before being used in an airbrush. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions
What brand airbrush and needle size do you use. Do you use different airbrushes for applying base coats and camouflage airbrushing. Thank you for your help. Larry
@larryolsen9971 I do 95% of my airbrushing both priming and base coats/camouflage with a basic Fengda FE-183K and a 0,5mm nozzle. If I need to work more precise I have an more expensive Harder & Steenbeck Ultra with a 0,2mm nozzle
The AK pencils are great for exhaust. I spend way too much time on exhaust lol. Last set I did I spend 3-4hrs alone on that. At least that one could be seen. First exhaust I did was about 2hrs work and had a cover that hide it entirely.
Carefully building and painting parts and then covering them happens so often. At least we ourself know how much time we spend on certain parts even if others wont ever see them
I built same kit but in Polish Home Army variant so added effect of top plate torned off and slightly bent by gammon bombs during capture. I didn't made too much weathered vechicle beyond dust as he stayed in city for rest of his "life" but this pencils are interesting. I saw them from some time but I'm not getting what so special about them. You applied paint on exhaust with brush. Pencils have some special form and water solved? Asking seriously. Beautiful Hunter!
They are basicly just regular watercolor pencils just in colors more suitable for weathering. They are water solluable yes. You can use the pencils themself on your model or use them on a wet brush like I did.
Great job on the hetzer
