>>6088076>Are you doing an actual ausf f or one that looks like the one in the movie?A little of both. The one from the movie appears to be somewhat accurate and I'm taking notes from real life examples and the movie model. I'm not well read on the variations in production but the Pz.IIF from the movie appears, at a guess, to be an early production.
>maybe dragon would be a """""better""""" starting pointI think it would because it's going to save on some work like cutting away the fenders. That was a pain in the ass. One of the boxes was molded to both the fender and the hull and you lose out on some of the tools which were also molded to the fenders. For 1/35, the barrel looks like crap but it is something around a 45 year old tooling.
All that said, it does make a good learner kit given price and fitting. Though, now that I think about it, there was a fitting issue with the vinyl cap and sprockets.
>As for PE here a vid that covers everything:Thanks! I understood part of it but I don't understand Russian, so some of the details are lost on me..
I'm using soldering paste, which helps a bit with the handling of parts. It's still a problem in some spots though.
>Also were did you get the figure? It would be cool to have a full crew of themThey're recasts of a convention exclusive, which I felt are better quality sculpts compared to the official 1/35 ones from the likes of Fine Molds.
The set is mostly of one character but I'm thinking of modifying a bunch of them. Something to note is that, while the casting is really nice, there's a problem with a tiny air bubble in the chin of most of the heads. It's an easy fix though, so I don't consider it a huge negative by any means.
