Tiger I SS Panzer Division 102 Tower No. 812 - Paul Heiser's Models Tiki

Norman Busch is building a special Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger

The Tigers of SS Panzer Abteilung 102, the 2 SS Panzer Grenadier Division "Das Reich" with the tower number 812 and the nickname Tiki the commander Heinrich Warnick.
The model of the Tiger I version E is made by Herpa and manufactured sound. It is a good basis and granted the builder a lot of room for his ideas, to complete modifications (see assembly report flame Tiger ). For ten euros you will get a pre-assembled model, the sorts of additional parts . Enclosed The casting of light-brown polystyrene plastic is virtually without objection, and only a few ridges and has the like. The latter can, however, with a sharp blade and a corresponding file easily removed.

two parts - upper and lower hull were already glued together before painting. I used this a thin liquid plastic cement from Pattex. With the present on the bottle needle could this be introduced directly into the tiny gaps that exist between the upper and lower hull. Subsequently, the Smoke grenades, hatches and other small items attached to the tower. I decided I for the turret hatch open shooters to represent the charge. From a short piece of pipe PS I made a base, which was stuck in the middle of the hatch. On this base a wheel was made of etched brass from Artmaster his place. Having assembled all the details so far and the adhesive was cured, all components were fixed with a small drop of glue on a cardboard and primed in the port.

The painting consisted of three basic colors. First was put on the primer, a second base coat Beige 314 of Revell Aqua Color. After drying, the ink was dry brushed with Citadel's Desert yellow. Once this work was done, was applied by means of color photos and a template from the Web the camouflage pattern. To this end, I used paint containing 87 by Revell Aqua Color.

The roles of the box drive were treated with 314 and Desert Beige yellow. A camouflage pattern was, as far I was able to assess the available photos, not available. This was followed by an order of pastels.

Since the present model, as well as the underlying original is a vehicle of the first type, had minor changes made to the exhaust system. These had the lowest third on protection, which allows viewers to the rusty mufflers. The small holder I made from the existing parts of the model by severing this I imitated the retaining bolts and machined with a round file. After the paint to dry, these two components with a drop of thick cyano attached to the model.

The two cyclone-filter system filters Feifel were painted separately, dry brushed and attached to the model. Now could the decals, or the name of Tiger "TIKI" be applied to the flanks. The decals are from TL-Decals , had its name with a brush size 0 / 5 painted freehand on the front. The numbers at the rear and sides of the tower were applied freehand with a brush the same size and a little white. That it is not involved in this numbering sprayed stencil signs, it is clear from all these pictures of the then original. Last but not least was with various pastels applied in a realistic earth tones dust.

Conclusion: This model offers a model maker, a good basis for simple models, or even own ideas. Whether recreating the basis for a conversion or a famous model of that time. With a little skill and commitment can be a work of art created from a model.

How To Make A Homemade Outboard

Panzerkampfwagen I

Norman Bushman makes us one of Paul Heiser Models before:

of this country quite unknown manufacturers from the U.S., Paul Heiser , has dedicated the production of various models from the time of the Second World War. Being there at vehicles repertoire spans almost all of the involved parties in this war. That this particular model of a German Panzer I will one day clarify the advantages and disadvantages of this manufacturer.

Ausgangsmaterial dieses Bausatzes ist Resin , weshalb sich die Anzahl der Bauteile auf kaum mehr als eine Handvoll beschränkt. Zwar können so auf relativ einfache Weise mehrere Bauteile zu kompletten Baugruppen gleichzeitig gegossen werden, was die Bauzeit für ein Modell erheblich verkürzen kann, allerdings sind die Formen teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Diesem Modell sieht mein sein Alter durchaus an, im speziellen an den beiden Laufwerksteilen, an welchen viel überschüssiges Resin zu entfernen ist. Fischhäute usw. ließen sich vermutlich auch so auf ein Minimum reduzieren. Andernfalls bleibt einem nichts weiter übrig, to have recourse, as the Miniborhmaschine including abrasive paper, scalpel and file and remove the excess material.

turn out after a hard day's work, but all the parts to be extremely useful, especially as a wealth of fine details, such as finely recessed panel lines, doors, hatches, screws and the like come to light. The fit of all parts is good. The small tower, which will put his place on the tub, placed by a thick shaft into a designated hole. Who here would not use glue, can make the tower including mobile.

In order to present the MG-armament in the turret, can the kit is a piece of steel wire. This we do to length and attached to the appropriate places in the drilling tower panel with a drop of super glue. The latter should be used in addition to the assembly of the entire model. The only downer for European model enthusiasts, perhaps the rather sparse instructions. Based on this does not indicate where tools and additional parts should be attached to the model. Well, in the original, especially after several weeks of use at the front, certainly were not always all of these things more attached to the same place, representing a construction and comparison of original and Model images some room opened. In addition, some extent, all of which are given in U.S. inches figures, converted into metric measurements.

After all these preparations were dealt with, all parts were cleaned with a mild Spülmittelllösung. Everything was primed in a light shade of gray. After passing the trough were dry, the tower, and the internal chassis components (ie all wheels and roll) painted in gray tank 78 (Revell Aqua Color). While this paint dried, were some of the tools, parts, and the hatch cover of the tower a color design subject. A day later, after the keynote was properly dried by means of a touch of Codex drybrushing Grex (Citadel) was brushed over everything. Again, it's up to yourself how far he might lighten the primer coat in gray tanks 78 on the way back. Following this, I accented some corners and edges of the model with iron 91, also from Revell Aqua Color. Ind the wells of the flaps on the stern, and was on the front panel a little Black Ink (Citadel) poured and the excess part dabbed with a dry cloth, lose them a distinctive look a little. Both MG-runs were a mixture of black and 4512 (Luke) and iron 91 bepinselt.

Die Ketten des Laufwerks erhielten zunächst einen mattschwarzen Anstrich; ebenfalls Lukas 4512. Hierbei sollte darauf geachtet werden, das diese Farbe, die quasi als Grundierung zu verstehen ist, auch in die Vertiefungen dringt. Also jene Stellen, die im Original offen waren, da die Zähne des Antriebsrades hier eingriffen. Der zweite Schritt beim Bemalen der Ketten war ein Drybrushing mit einem Hauch von Bestial Brown von Citadel. Erst hiernach wurde ein weiterer Hauch von Eisen 91 auf die erhaben vorspringenden Partien der Laufkette aufgetragen.

Nach dem Zusammenbau sämtlicher Teile mittels Sekundenkleber wurde mein Panzer I mit ein wenig abgeriebener Pastellkreide dusty. I used this bright earth tones and gray shades, and held me back discreetly, as it should be a parade vehicle. All tools spring from the model. Only the commander figure has been supplemented by Preiser.

Conclusion: All in all it was a double pleasure to build this model and more. One there is another model whose parts consist entirely of resin. On the other models by Paul Heiser are, as already mentioned, this country is virtually unknown and it was interesting to build a tank type, so far at this scale do not were in my collection.
