15mm Khurasan Federal Medium Tank
Another Khurasan showcase, this time their 15mm Federal Medium tanks. These are very nice models, with little clean up required. I had these for awhile now and struggled a long time to come up with a paint scheme that I thought would fit with my GZG NSL Infantry. The only thing I new is that I did not want another green vehicle pool.
I did these up in a German grey scheme to match my European Union forces (known as the Leopard V). The scheme was simple: airbrushed Tamyia German Grey, followed by Dark Sea Grey, Light Sea Grey and Vallejo Pale Grey Blue. The only issue I have with them is I seem to have either lost or misplaced the crew hatches for a couple of tanks. I will have to use some GZG hatches apparently. They were finished off with some Tamyia weathering pigments. I may in the future do a couple of Vallejo Dark Grey pin washes, not sure yet.
Nicely executed panzer platoon. Sometimes a simple monotone finish is the best approach, and your added details consisting of Federal German Bundeswehr insignia really pops the overall finish. Excellent. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Widow. These vehicles have so much detail that I really struggled with how to paint them. Same with the Caiman and Siler tank. But I ended doing those in the same pattern as well.
