Painting & Weathering Tiger 1 German Camouflage with Tamiya Paints - 506 sPzAbt 1944

Why not the correct primer color????

Good day my friend. Awesome technique of chipping. Very interesting painting process. I will keep it in mind. Greetings from France. Francisco Bazán López ❤

So I have to ask (and I’m sure it’s been asked already)- are you still Team Hairspray or have you moved to Team Chipping Fluid? 😁

This is very helpful! I need to repaint a 1/16 Tamiya Full Option Tiger I, that I stripped the old paint off of over 11 years ago. The tank was originally painted by the previous owner 15 years ago. After stripping the paint using Super Clean Degreaser, then storing it away, many years later I’m getting back into modeling again.

Love your vids and ive dug this one of yours up to copy on a Panther. I have a Badger airbrush and I used that MIG primer @22 psi, worst experience with a primer after Vallejos surface primer. Maybe mine was a bad batch or something but I have basically the same airbrush as you and used same product like you. About a few sprays and I would have to stop to clean the needle. About 3/4 way through the entire airbrush clogged and had to be stripped down in cleaning solution.. after that I switched to good ol trusty Tamiya. I give up on primers except cans I suppose....

This rly helped when painting my tiger! Thx man looks good!

Das werks just brought out an ex Dragon tiger with the Zimmerit so hopefully we get that soon! Still not seen the brukenlager m46 yet I've been building that Bordor model's luchs in-between shifts at work just now, it's a nightmare of a kit tracks done all backwards and there link n length so there the wrong way if you followed instructions that's just one thing there's a few on the fix list to the tracks and the backs of the sprockets not lining up till you go to fit tracks and they sit offski lol between that and working at the hospital just now my heads bursting! I think we're gonna get really over run again very soon with covid yet again!

Woww

Stay isolated.....

How long do you wait once the camo is applied before you start chipping ?

HOWWWW did you get your zimmerit to look so good?!!! lol

Would brown be a good shadow color for this tank ?

what unit was this ?

OHMAGERD! TIGER ORGAZMZ!

What is your "go to" air brush? Favorite?

German tanks were finished in one of five colors Eikenbein (ivory white), Primer red, Olivegrun, Dunklegelb (in two shades one before August 44 the other after), and early war Feldgrau.

So instead of the heavy chipping fluid I could just use some hairspray?

im currently building a tiger 1 i wanted to do a whitewash effect but i don't know what camouflage to paint under it are there any rules as to what camo usually was on the tank before the tank would be sploshed in white paint?

Why not just use the right primer color from the beginning instead of so much different paint before camo???? total waste.

What tiger 1 model model is that????

You could have used One-shot primer in Red Oxide colour?

Knew a guy who served from 1939 to 1945 in german tanks and he said "the road wheels on the tigers and panthers were your best friend until you changed them and thats why we would drink so heavily aftwrwards"

Another great video really helpful thanks for sharing 👍

Do you prefer the chip effect fluid or the hairspray?

Great paint job! One question for you and others: how is chipping solution superior to dabbing with a sponge?

Extraordinary build! Is it possible to add some sort of shopping list? Like what type of spare spare tracks & gun barrel etc you used?

Great video, thank you very much!
Just a question: I think the chipping on the second paint layer (red brown colour) is hard to chip; or maybe harder compared to the base yellow colour. Haven’t you tried to spray the chipping fluid also between the two colour layers? What do you think?

Cheers very helpful.

Thanks for your lessons......

What is that tiger 1 kit?

Can you tell me your timeline between spraying the chipping fluid....the painting....then chipping? Basically if I put on the chipping fluid and paint do I have to chip soon after or can I wait a day?

Excellent video! What Dragon kit is this?

I wish you would include kit no's in your vids.

Great build and paint. It's nice to see you branching out into the land of Tigers. May be a Panther or a Jagdpanther is in your future as well
I have a question about your airbrush. What size of needle are you using in it to paint the brown stripes and what air preasure do you use.
Keep them coming , I learn something new from most every vidio you put out.

Question on PSI. I assume the more the paint is thinned then, the lower PSI used, if so, why is that please?

I am currently building a Panzer IV in a "panzer grey" colour scheme. I am about to paint it. Should I glue on the tools and paint over them, and then leave them painted? Or should I paint the tools separately in different colours? In this video, the tools on your tank are painted over. Thank you for your help.

Nice yob 👌🏻 this is a great kit and you skills are really coming along!

fantastic skill,but can I ask why is the reddish brown camo colour sprayed on,when in the field this was painted by the soldiers by brush

Micro set is used before the decal is set down, then micro sol after. When it comes to decals on tanks, micro sol will do the trick, however if you go to aircraft models the small stencil decals will start to fall off, at least they did for me. The micro set improves adhesion to the model surface. The gloss coat really helps the large decals on aircraft models too. Mr color gloss coats are dry in the same ammount of time as their paints and are really hard wearing

The speeded-up footage is disconcerting. It would have been if you used a time lapse instead.

Very nice job. How many hours did you wait after painting to start the chipping process?

I love it. I want to do other Tigers, they're beautiful

Great Job!
Also, your intro sound's taken from NFSHP2010, isn't it?

Looks great!

Why do you always paint the tools as part of the tank?
It makes them look like a part of the tank rather than something that is put on it after it was painted.
I mean sure they were all painted the same color but they wouldnt have been on the tank at the time it was painted

Definitely the more traditional camo approach VS the pop art F13 of our favorite Uncle- but I did appreciate all his color research and his explanations made perfect sense. I can't speak from an accuracy perspective, but the process of late war, poorly applied zimmerit over a grey tank at worst makes for a pretty sweet, unique "what if" concept. Your chipping fluid micro chips look amazing, nicely done, in scale as you said, and in logical places. Really cool to see you paint the whole thing as it would have looked at the factory and then camo it all up for chipping with in scale, 1/35 man sized airbrush strokes. Again- makes perfect sense to me and really helps build the effects early on 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 looking forward to Friday! Stay safe

Great video, looking forward to the weathering. Re Alliance Modelworks masks, like you say most of their items are out of stock on the official AM website and have been for some time. However, their stencils can be found on Ali Express. I presume AM used a Chinese manufacturer to make their their sets, as the stencils on Ali Express come in original AM packaging. I ordered a few of them from the Ali Express seller (based in China) several months ago and was impressed by the quality.
