JAGDPANZER IV/70(V) LANGEach area of camouflage to be sprayed
was masked with Tamiya tape, cut to shape
with help from the kit painting guide. After the hard-edged camouflage had dried, small triangles of green and yellow were
painted by hand with a brush. Rubber road wheels were painted with Lifecolor Tyre Black, and a pin wash of AK 082
Engine Grime enhanced the detail on the running
gear and lower sides. All equipment, along with spare tracks and tyres, was
painted carefully before attachment to the rear decking.gloss varnish and all equipment,
along with spare tracks and tyres,
were fixed to the rear decking with
small drops of Tamiya Extra Thin
Cement. Both crew figures were
added before the top deck plate
was glued into place...having made
sure the periscope, attached to the
gun breach, was clipped in with its
sliding cover so it could still move.A blending layer of Vallejo Matt
Varnish was sprayed lightly over
the upper and lower hull and barrel
sub-assemblies.Heavy weather
In preparation for weathering,
AK 082 Engine Grime was again
used to enhance all moulded detail
on the upper hull. A few dropsof lighter fluid on a clean brush
helped to push the enamel-based
paint further into all the nooks and
crannies. To fade the rather bright
upper hull colour scheme, AK 105
Dust Effects was misted over the
model...concentrating mainly on
horizontal panels, particularly
at the front and rear where dust
would accumulate.The impression of a dust-covered
vehicle was created with Lifecolor’s
Tracks Painting and Weathering
Set (SPG 02). First, small amounts
of Dry Dust and Damp Dust
pigments were mixed together,
and the model placed on its side,
which prevented the powder from
falling off. Working a small area at
a time, powder was dropped onto28-33_Jagdpanzer.CC.indd 32 17/03/2015 14:34
