Tamiya Panther Ausf. A Build; Part 3


Today I'll talk about the figures for the tank. This kit includes a commander and driver. The driver comes in 4 parts(body&head,arms,legs) and the commander comes in 3(body&head, arms) These are both molded well with minimal flash and great detail. The fit of the parts is excellent and the construction is fast. Make sure the commander's arms are postioned right or he won't stand straight. I painted them using mostly Decoart crafters acrylics. These are cheap and you can find them almost anywheres (even at Wal-Mart) I painted the uniforms using a mix of black,navy blue, and grey. The faces were one coat of flesh. The boots and gloves were black with a gloss painted over them. After the main coat had dried I highlighted the inlaid detail with lines of black. Tomorrow we'll talk about the hull.
