@@Panzermeister36 I thought the colour of your zimmerit was perfect. In the closeups at the end, you can see the tonal differences easily.

[@semersemer2293]

Nice Job! Thx for sharing.

[@BrailleScale]

Definitely the more traditional camo approach VS the pop art F13 of our favorite Uncle- but I did appreciate all his color research and his explanations made perfect sense. I can't speak from an accuracy perspective, but the process of late war, poorly applied zimmerit over a grey tank at worst makes for a pretty sweet, unique "what if" concept. Your chipping fluid micro chips look amazing, nicely done, in scale as you said, and in logical places. Really cool to see you paint the whole thing as it would have looked at the factory and then camo it all up for chipping with in scale, 1/35 man sized airbrush strokes. Again- makes perfect sense to me and really helps build the effects early on 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 looking forward to Friday! Stay safe

Uncle Nightshift says the red oxide was sprayed over the top of the zim. You indicate that there was no primer on the zim. I had always assumed (and painted) that the primer was applied over the zim. On the Tank Encylopedia page, they say the red oxide was applied to all bare metal areas and then the zim over the top of the primer. Looks like I gotta go repaint all those models! 😳🤪🤪🤪 Great video Evan. Thank you.

[@Panzermeister36]

Yes, red oxide was applied before zimmerit. It's a metal primer so I'm not even sure it would adhere well to zimmerit.

[@MrSneaksful]

Love your vids and ive dug this one of yours up to copy on a Panther. I have a Badger airbrush and I used that MIG primer @22 psi, worst experience with a primer after Vallejos surface primer. Maybe mine was a bad batch or something but I have basically the same airbrush as you and used same product like you. About a few sprays and I would have to stop to clean the needle. About 3/4 way through the entire airbrush clogged and had to be stripped down in cleaning solution.. after that I switched to good ol trusty Tamiya. I give up on primers except cans I suppose....

[@Panzermeister36]

You're using Mig AMMO "One Shot" primer? They also make a standard Mig primer which is garbage. Now, this One Shot primer is rebranded Badger Stynylrez primer. I know Badger had to change the formula during COVID due to material shortages. It's possible you have one of these new mixes, under the Mig AMMO brand. I have not tried the new mix but people are not impressed. Apparently Badger is now back to their original mix. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer here, but my experience with this primer (original formula) is very good so I suspect you have the bad COVID-era mixture.

[@MrSneaksful]

@@Panzermeister36 hey thx for the reply. It is Mig "one shot", must be a bad batch like you said, my luck haha. Its all just part of the modelling experience, adapt and overcome.

[@studiogekko6579]

[@MF-og1ct]

Micro set is used before the decal is set down, then micro sol after. When it comes to decals on tanks, micro sol will do the trick, however if you go to aircraft models the small stencil decals will start to fall off, at least they did for me. The micro set improves adhesion to the model surface. The gloss coat really helps the large decals on aircraft models too. Mr color gloss coats are dry in the same ammount of time as their paints and are really hard wearing

[@Panzermeister36]

I use plenty of small stencils on modern armour and they don't fall off. Besides, micro sol is solvent. It should melt down the decal film into the surface. You also definitely do not need gloss for larger decals....just a smooth surface which you can get through smooth paint application and sanding. Decal size is irrelevant. Surface finish is all that matters.

[@keithfletcher4909]

German tanks were finished in one of five colors Eikenbein (ivory white), Primer red, Olivegrun, Dunklegelb (in two shades one before August 44 the other after), and early war Feldgrau.

[@Panzermeister36]

Not exactly. Pre-war you have the Buntfarbenanstrich three-colour camouflage scheme, consisting of RAL N.17 Erdgelb, RAL N.18 Braun, and RAL N.28 Grün. This looks a lot like late-war three colour camouflage. From 1937 to June 1940, tanks were painted a base of RAL N.46 Grau with 1/3rd of the vehicle covered by RAL N.45 Dunkelbraun. Note that this includes and battles of France and Poland. It's tricky to see this camouflage in photos since brown and grey appear the same in black and white photos, but there are tons of original colour photos from this period too. From June 1940 to February 9th 1943, RAL7021 Dunkelgrau was the standard base colour for armored vehicles. In 1941 the first tropentarn (tropical) camouflage pattern was introduced for vehicles serving in North Africa and Greece. It is a base of RAL8000 Gelbraun with camouflage of RAL7008 Graugrün. In 1942 the second tropentarn pattern was introduced which is a base of RAL8020 Braun with RAL7027 Grau. By this time these tropical camouflage schemes were also approved to use in Russia. You can see vehicles in the winter 1942-43 battle of Kharkov painted in tropical camouflage operating in the snow, which is very unique. Now in early February 1943, RAL7028 Dunkelgelb was the new standard base colour. Units were supplied with RAL8017 Rotbraun and RAL6003 Olivgrün to apply their own camouflage patterns over the yellow base. In August 1944, the order was changed so that vehicles were painted with Olivgrün and Rotbraun camouflage over the base yellow at the factory. This was done so that the vehicles would be camouflaged for rail transport. This order was maintained until war's end, though in early 1945 some factories started using Olivgrün as the base over which was applied the yellow and red-brown.

fantastic skill,but can I ask why is the reddish brown camo colour sprayed on,when in the field this was painted by the soldiers by brush

[@Panzermeister36]

Because German camouflage patterns were sprayed on at repair facilities when the units received the tanks from the factory. Brush applied camouflage is not as common as people think on German tanks. Also, there are tons of photos of the unit I am modelling and their camouflage was clearly sprayed on.

[@angelloca375]

Great video, thank you very much! Just a question: I think the chipping on the second paint layer (red brown colour) is hard to chip; or maybe harder compared to the base yellow colour. Haven’t you tried to spray the chipping fluid also between the two colour layers? What do you think?

What is your "go to" air brush? Favorite?

[@Panzermeister36]

Badger 105 Patriot

[@timthedean]

Great paint job! One question for you and others: how is chipping solution superior to dabbing with a sponge?

[@Panzermeister36]

I find it is much faster as you're just spraying an extra coat of paint (15 minutes) and the chipping is super fast. No worries about thinning your chipping colour properly or applying it with enough wiped off the sponge...you just use a damp brush and the chips naturally form when youre doing HS chipping. The sponge chipping takes much longer in my experience as you have to be conscious and careful about so many more factors. But still, sponge chipping itself is so much faster than painting each chip with a tiny paintbrush.

[@cygnusx10]

It appears you and Uncle NightShift are in psychic contact again with regards to painting Tigers... Anyhow, that's a great looking Tiger so far, sure it'll only get better. You don't do chipping effects on the wheels? Would have thought they would have suffered most from stones (etc) flying up and chipping the paint there. Great vid, nice and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you! I actually did do some chipping on the wheels in some areas, but I didn't film that part, sorry. You'll be able to see it clearly in 2 weeks when I put up the detail painting video on this Tiger, since I paint the steel edges of the wheels there. Also, the chipping will mostly be hidden by the mud and dust I apply to the wheels eventually. That's also why I never apply the pinwash to the wheels either...it's pointless since it gets hidden by mud and dust passes.

[@MattStunts-]

Cool video Evan, those in scale chipping effect do the right job. I have one question: how long after applaying chipping fluid you start to remove the next paint coats? How long I can wait until I start chipping process?

[@Panzermeister36]

Hmm, I usually wait no more than 10 minutes before I chip. But this time I had to apply the brown camouflage as well after the yellow, so it was probably more like an hour. It still chipped pretty easily though. Just don't wait super long for the paint to set...chip pretty much ASAP after it's dry to the touch.

[@Panzermeister36]

You could spray on hairspray from a can instead of airbrushing on chipping fluid (yes it works the same), but your brush painting you'll have to keep your top paint layers thin for the chipping to work well. But it might be possible.

If that happens you're spraying at too high of a pressure and the paint is drying before is hits the surface.

Why do you always paint the tools as part of the tank? It makes them look like a part of the tank rather than something that is put on it after it was painted. I mean sure they were all painted the same color but they wouldnt have been on the tank at the time it was painted

I haven't painted the details yet. I'm going to look at that after I apply a wash. Detail painting will involve the tools, wheels, machine guns, rear light, periscopes, etc.

[@jakec788]

Very nice but would have been better if you didn’t put the tools on until last

OHMAGERD! TIGER ORGAZMZ!

Why not just use the right primer color from the beginning instead of so much different paint before camo???? total waste.

[@Panzermeister36]

Because I only have black primer. If I would have had a primer that is red oxide I would have used that...

I've no interest in models. Watched the whole thing

The speeded-up footage is disconcerting. It would have been if you used a time lapse instead.

[@Panzermeister36]

Time laspe and sped up footage are the same thing. Time lapse photography involves taking a bunch of spread-out pictures so when played together makes time appear to be going faster.
