1/35 Tamiya DAK Pz II

November 2, 2023 · in Armor · · 8 · 308

My second vehicle in as many months. Tamiya with figure from Master Box. Painted with rattle cans and weathered by abrasives, pin washes and dry brushing. Vehicle went together great. Figure was mediocre with very little detail (side cap especially) and not very good neck and arms fit. I did more filling and sanding on the figure than on the vehicle.

  1. Great job, John (@atjoe). Love the weathering effects and the folded flag, too.

  2. Fantastic job, John!

  3. Very nice result, John @atjoe
    How did you create that flag? It looks great.

    • Flag is a resin folded tarp (a little large scale-wise, but OK) and a 1/2 of a decal from a Star Afrika Korps set, which I used for the vehicle also. Decal was really stiff and needed a lot of decal set just to lay on the contours so I did the folded part with paint.

  4. Good job, bravo John !

    Welcome to the FORUM.
    Nice work on that classic Tamiya kit, hope to see it soon on a diorama.

  6. I think the figure really makes a big difference to the model.
