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By late 1942 (and almost 1943) Panzer II were clearly outdated and outgunned by enemy tanks, but they were still useful as rear guard actions or airfield protection.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!
