That's some really fine airbrushing there BRELs!! What pressure setting did you set it at? I'm going to 'break in' my airbrush on my Panther ...

... that is once I get back to building it. It'll seem like a breeze after the last two I have been on.

Are those metal tracks?

Hi Jeff

yes, those are metal tracks, I got them from Steve at welshdragon models http://www.welshdragonmodels.co.uk/

as for the pressure setting of the air brush, I don't know, I just played with it until it felt right and was painting thinish stripes

the PZ IV took me about two weeks to build and paint and was as you say a Breeze to build compaired to the Leopard 2A6

Though on paper the IV is not the most lethel compare to the other three WWII German fighting machine, but I think this tank has the most character and detail. Great results.

Hi Brels,

Thanks for the info and fixing the pics, looks like a lot of fun.

Swindon is not too far from me, can anyone pitch up with a bootful of armour, or is it organised by a club ??

the main event is organised by the Swindon and cricklade Rly

They have various stalls and displays, Ours was organised by rctankregiment at http://www.rctankregiment.com/rctankforum/index.php

you need public liability insurance and membership of the tank club to get in also no BB fitted tanks are allowed unless they have been disabled (and may be inspected to make sure, again for liability) another rule insisted on by the railway is No SS UNIFORMS and no Nazi symbols and emblems like the swastika
