Hi guys

I have just updated the blog with 3 Panzer II in winter camo for my Flames of War Stalingrad project

https://spanishleadpainting.blogspot.com/2023/05/flames-of-war-panzer-ii-whitewashed.html

The detail of these little tanks is decent and good enough for gaming purposes, and they are quite light and small. I accidentally broke one of the mgs, they are very thin and brittle, but it was easily fixed with plastic glue.
I really enjoyed painting them in winter camouflage, with the white wash over the panzer grey paint.

By late 1942 (and almost 1943) Panzer II were clearly outdated and outgunned by enemy tanks, but they were still useful as rear guard actions or airfield protection. As I am buillding a small airfield , inspired in Gumrak airport in Stalingrad, or something similar, with a 1/100 Junkers 52 in the airstrip... I wanted to have some Panzer II as the defense force against Soviet hordes in my games.

I used Ammo Mig Chipping fluid over the panzergrey paint, and the white paint over this fluid... then just brushed on some water, and the white paint began to tear off or "chip".

Then I applied the usual weathering on the tanks as follows...

Gloss varnish, decals, more gloss varnish to protect all the previous work... filters, oil dots fading, pin washes, chipping, dust & mud, and matt varnish!

I hope you like these small tanks!

Cheers!

Hi guys,

https://spanishleadpainting.blogspot.com/2025/05/bolt-action-jagdpanzer-iv70-and.html

I just finished a a couple of 3d printed models, a test model of a Volkssturm young soldier and a Jagdpanzer IV/70 (A) from 2021, so not as detailed as latest 3d models, but with some improvements it does the job.

I added mesh schürzen from a Rubicon Models Panzer IV J, and a couple of bits like the caterpillars as an extra defense in the front plate of the armor.

This Jagdpanzer variant was armed with the same gun as the Panther Pak42 L/70, and only 278 were built by Nibelungenwerke from August 1944 to March 1945.

The painting was the usual method;

Airbrushing the colors with some color modulation using zenithal light technique, all the weathering ( filter, oil dots fading, pin washes, scratches and streaking grime and dirt, then some pigments and mud) and matt varnish.

The volkssturm man is by (I think) 3d models by Propylene Foliescu and I like it very much, easy to paint model with a rare weapon, Volkssturmgewehr , a last ditch line of rifles and assault weapons.

I have already a Normandy force German and US, and an Axis forces for Sicily 1943, now I wanted some late WW2 in 1945 wester front force, for Remagen, Ruhr Pocket etc.
