Got me some cheap ones cuz cheapskate in me kicks in

(yes i don't paint now as i did last time, so a bunker could be a nice re-start point)
price is before discount

it has been aeons since i bravely testing on colouring kits
last time i tried doing hand painting for my 1/72 kit, which turns out horrendous
any links on how to do model a 1/72 properly? should i paint part by part, of cement all and mask some parts
any help would be appreciated

thank you so much
will snailing my way to completion for this wespe

lawa woo
keep us posted on the other build when it is finished yeah

whoa lawa

man, the Italeri 1/72 Wespe is an old mold from ECSI, hence the crude detailing of it
tried to mod what i can with it, but wow, this experience truly made me thankful of the diecast kit in 1/72

i wonder how you guys do all the detailing on small scales

might spray can this one, and do the minute details with brush. results of mine sure will be horrendous
even worse, i could just hand paint this entire kit and be done with it

sangat kecik woo (at least for me)
as you can see, details are very crude, and i am not incline in spending upgrade kit for something i am just recently trying my hands on (it has been a long time already i did try military kit), and i don't really fancy doing major corrections on this one
probably will do it slowly when mood kicks in

yeah, that's why i guess why modelers are mostly tackling 1/35 for armor i guess :sweat:

That sure take a lot of eye strain i reckon painting that pilot :lol:

A question, since the armor for the gun, front, side and back of Wespe seems a bit too thick, and I don't have the option of placard (malas mau cari :P), can any plastic (eg say, the transparent plastic used to keep that CTC casing in place) be used as safe for spray paint? They seems to be of somewhat the correct thickness (from eye observation, or at least closer to it)

But then again, when the mood strikes-lah. The radio compartment looks off place on the kit compared to the actual ones

aiyo crack
if non transparent i guess you could do touch up right?
can refund for a new one ah?

will try later when it is finished

modding it currently to add in less crude sight for gunner

feel sorry for you
the kit, with all the interior, with transparent armor would be a sight to behold

continuation of poor lass's kit:

what seems to be a very crude sighting device seems okay to my eyes as opposed to the actual ones that is merely ball on cylinder
armor is front plastic cover a4 size student usually use to protect their binded project paper. works well imo, just that after doing it only i remember whether that paint will stick or not to it
kit so crude, exhaust is not given, scratch build that too. wespe loves exhaustes

gunna continue lipating the armor and if rajin, scratch build radio box (since the inner details are also somewhat crude, all boxes lol)

huiyo
nicely done you guys

fuu

better with that moolah buy car or house

^
i bet the crew have some bright ideas on how to utilize it in the field

yeay finally

My 'Fall of The Reich' Maus has arrived, and with some creative licensing, Tiger II Maus has been created

hahaha, that's why i got my tiger ii quite cheap back then i reckon

side view of actual maus or this frankentank

my futile attempt in trying to replicate the actual wespe's recoil tray by making it longer and hollowing it out, in 1:72 scale.

italeri kit (a rebadge of esci, for this particular one) is an okay kit, if one don't mind with the accuracy of the model IMHO.

Since I am using clear plastic A4 sheet to replicate the thickness (or lack off) of Wespe's superstructure, it was quite a while to measure it to approximate shape. Don't mind the gap since this is only for dryfitting. Many interior details are still on the way




Additional picture on the bare interior. Will try to add in the charge boxes, radio, antenna holder, stowage, etc in the as well later on. The recoil tray seems to fit in better as compared to the one given by the kit.

Hummel ada already, so I wanted to get its smaller brother. Snatch this one from Hobby HQ last time when they are having sales.

And since CTC Malaysia didn't bring in diecast Wespe in their issue, that is another reason

This is THE kit

A rebadge of ESCI old mold for this particular one, so the details are quite poor as compared to today's standard. Modifications was and is currently ongoing because I wanted to at least make it accurate (to my eyes).

The superstructure that comes with it was deem too thick for me, hence the DIY
