This is what I´m currently working on: Jagdpanther G2 + Schimmwagen. Das Reich, Unternehmen Frühlingserwachen, 1945. Jagd from RFM and Schimm from Tamiya.
So far I´ve painted the dunkelgelb aus 44 DGI and still thinking about applying the camo scheme to the Schwimm or leave it this way…BTW, Schwimm DEF Models wheels are on their way home.
The telegraph pole comes from the 35541 MiniArt set. Tank commander from 35465 MiniArt Panzer Crew. A couple of figures for the Sch will arrive tomorrow…hope so!

Jagd´s white camo is almost done; now it just needs some dust, mud and debris so it’s turn for the schwimm…

Hello Carlos,
This looks great!
Could you please explain the purpose of the blue surface in photo 1 (I believe it’s Mr. Surfacer)? Is it intended to mimic the appearance of cast metal?
Additionally, regarding the remnants of the white snow camouflage, could you explain how this effect was achieved?
Thank you,
WilloW

Hi
It looks like blue but it´s grey: Yes, cast metal made with Tamiya putty+Mr. Hobby liquid cement.
The faded camo white paint is done just by airbrushing the tank with Ammo washable white camo (AMIG 0024), waiting for a few minutes and then moistening the surface and rubbing it with an old brush.
I waited for just 5 minutes to get rid of the white paint because I wanted a very worn effect…if you want more white to remain on the surface of the tank, then just wait for 7-8 minutes.
Regards
Carlos
