Hi Gino, I thought so too. However, before I bought it, I did a bit of research on Glue n Glaze. It is not just PVA like Elmer’s Glue. It does not contain the fillers that most regular PVA glues have, which are the agents that cause them to be opaque not crystal clear and which cause yellowing over time.

Elmer’s and other PVA are not water proof. Soak a bandage in Elmer’s and let it dry, then soak it in water and it will become flexible and tacky. Do the same with Glue N Glaze and the bandage stays stiff and hard.

I read somewhere that it is an acrylic polymer unlike polyvinyl acetate.

If you don’t mind me saying, you’ve made a smashing job there and the sag on those tracks is excellent and something of a holy grail for me.

Great work :clap:

@flatfour Watto, thank you, that’s very kind. The Ryefield Model plastic Pz III/IV tracks really made the track sag a fun and easy.

@Marco_Schaper Marco, much appreciated thank you!

@Delta21 Anthony, thank you very much!

I love the Pz III, so I’ll add that to my list.

Now it’s too hot to airbrush at the attic, I picked up a shelf queen.
I did cut the suspension loose to give the Strv 103 a hoovering position, as it could.
I also have the seperate tracks from Trumpeter to build the early (B) version.
Also an Eduard PE set and a alu barrel are being used

Have a nice day :v:

Once I saw mig jeminez painting and weathering a tiger-tank at a demonstration in germany and the result was unbelievable. I did’nt know that it’s possible to bring the look of a model to that perfection, but he is a professionel, he does it all the time.
When I saw your panzer IV and now the panzer III
I can’t see a difference between mig’s work and yours. That gives me a good feeling, because it shows that you can get on this level without beeing a professionel, " just " with the experience of a modeler-life. It will take some time, but that’s okay.
And you are not an exception, I saw pictures from models here also on that level, so I think, I can do it too, some day.
Have a nice week :v:
