Thanks!

Thanks for the review Bill.

Thanks Bill for the heads up about this item. A quick question is there any painting instructions included? I've got the Dragon 38 t kit , and even though a couple of the people on the network have given me interior painting ideas, which I greatly appreciate, I just want to do this fine little kit up right. Thanks again.

Hey Bill

Nice review. Is there a painting guide of some sort? If not what would be a good reference?


cheers from the sandbox

Ivanhoe, Rick, there's only a very rudimentary painting guide provided on the bottom of the last page which lists three colors as A-B-C for Tamiya and Mr.Color paints. The colors are called out as A: XF-11 Chrome Silver, 8/H8 B: XF-10 Gun Metal, 214, and C: XF-70 Dark Green, 123. The only places where those call-outs are used is with the engine compartment pieces, so it's not a lot of help there I'm afraid.

Interior color shots of the Pz 38t are hard to come by, I used the Pz Tracts no. 18 but the photos there are black-and-white (and also a bit doctored as they used a Slovak LT-38 for the manual photos) but that's the best references I know of.

Thanks for the review Bill. It should come in handy at some stage.

I like the review Bill , this kit might come in handy to fill the empty space in some of the kits that lack the interior.

Thanks Rob, it's a pretty good set. Now that I've built it up for use in a Marder III there are some areas where it's got some tricks up its sleeve...the instruction diagrams are no help at all in placing the radio and rack, just showing their construction but not their installation...but aside from that it's pretty solid. Definitely a good compliment to the detail provided in the standard Tristar Pz38t kits for those looking to add the interior goodies to the turret, the hull, the engine compartment or all three.
