Great tutorial, really enjoyed that, they look fantastic.
Thanks Miniature Realms! I'm glad to have these in my collection now. My first King Tigers. Thanks for watching!
Thumb up for this cool and effective tutorial ! Greetings , Robert .
Thank you Robert!
Great job, from my experience of assembly on these I would add that be careful when putting the side panels on, make sure that they sit flush with the top of the hull, otherwise the turret doesn't turn without catching them.
Thanks Jay and for the tip too. It all helps others learn from experience.
Fantastic work.
Thanks Al and thanks for watching!

@@PanzerSchule well that’s sure talent. I’ve learned a lot from you and your videos so thank you!!!!
@@gruppenfuhrer45 thanks John, I appreciate that. Thanks for your support.
Very nice. So talented.
Cheers Glenn. These are some of my favourites.
Very interesting video and I've found this just as helpful if not more than other videos - as I'm doing a 1/35 tiger 2 is a cocktail stick going to be too small for the dots...?
Glad you found the guide useful. I have seen examples of 1/35 scale ambush camo with small dots. You might be able to find something larger. But with a larger tool of this type it will be harder to manage the flow of paint. You can always practice on the underside of tank. Thanks for watching.
Can you tell me the color code of this tank primer? I'm used to hand painting now。The brand of paint I am currently using is AV
@@ChenEric-gy2hr this is painted with Tamiya. Dark Yellow 2, Red Brown and Nato Green. I like these colours best for soft edge German camo. I don't have any experience with other ranges to confidently give equivalents.
Oh,thanks!
Awesome tutorial, what size needle and nozzle did you use? 🙂
Thanks! I don't know the sizes unfortunately! I use an airbrush that came with my compressor. It's a cheap, double action type but works well.
Hello what is the base yellow cover you used and did you prime it first? Regards
Hello Dave, the base colour is Tamiya Dark Yellow 2. I do not prime but that is a matter of personal choice. Some painters see it as essential and it certainly helps ensure no bleed through of the kit colour. But I apply sufficient coats of Tamiya to ensure a complete and reliable first coat. Thanks for watching.
@@PanzerSchule thank you...I learned a lot😊
I have a question I've never used Tamiya dark yellow how does it apply with a brush since I do not have an airbrush I usually use Vallejo dark yellow and Middle Stone my technique for yellow is usually to apply that through a spray can do a dark brown and black wash then when that dries apply dark yellow or Middle Stone with traditional brushwork and dry brushing and then I add a little Iraqi sand to do edge highlightings for dry brushing for my green I use reflective green from Vallejo and flat Brown from Vallejo any suggestions on how I can do this better
Hello Eric, firstly, the colours you are using just now are very effective. For me the key with any pallet of colours is how you wash it. The greater the cover age of the wash, the darker the final result. That's why I use a pin wash. I have not covered it in detail in this video but I have a dedicated guide to pin wash with an MIG Ammo wash. I will post up a link to that next. The Tamiya paint is harder to brush than to airbrush. You have to keep it thin and do not work right out of the bottle. You also have to let the coat completely dry before recoating or it will lift off.

Need some help. My paint is spattering. I’ve got my psi set to about 12-15, and thinning my paint but still having trouble.
Couple of questions for you. At what point is the spattering? During normal flow and operation, at the start or end of the spray? Have you had this problem before? Is it a new airbrush? When did you last clean it? What paint and thinner are you using? There are so many little things that can affect the operation of the airbrush. Get back to me with the answers and we can drill down from there.
It’s starting to spatter right at the get go….I use a fairly newer airbrush and it’s cleaned after every use. I use tamiya paints as you do and tamiya thinner. Just can’t seem to get the smoothness of the paints, specifically the camo as you do. Very frustrated
