Hi, Steve welcome, did you do it as Grief or something else, any pics?
Purists should note that that’s not accurate for Greif (note spelling — not you, Steve ). Tamiya’s figures are based on a series of photos of the real thing, like this one:I did it as Rommels Greif. […] As for the the finished colour I did it Panzergrau with a sand/mud slurry mix on top.
Jakko,Purists should note that that’s not accurate for Greif (note spelling — not you, Steve ). Tamiya’s figures are based on a series of photos of the real thing, like this one:
You can clearly see that the name goes over the camouflage pattern, and nobody would paint over mud camo. Instead, this indicates the vehicle is painted according to regulations, namely either RAL 8000 Grünbraun (green-brown) with about one-third covered in soft-edged blotches of RAL 7008 Khakigrau (khaki grey), or RAL 8020 Gelbbraun (yellow-brown) with similar blotches of RAL 7027 Sandgrau (sand grey). The former applied until April 1942, the latter from then; I’m not sure when the above photo was taken, but I would guess the vehicle is in Gelbbraun/Sandgrau — with a heavy layer of dust over all of it, of course.
Brad, If by chance you have this sitting in your stash, it has two of the larger radios in the kit.

FOR DISCUSSION ONLY.
If you can hold off for about a week, I can mould them for you.
Cheers,
Mike.
Not a problem, pm me your details and I will get them on the go tomorrow.Thanks Mike, that's awefully grand of you, but please don't put yourself out, only do if you want,.. (You're my secret radio man)...

Do you have references that prove this? Not that I’m saying you’re wrong, but I find it somewhat difficult to believe that they would apply mud so neatly that the name remained perfectly visible as if it were painted over the mud.I'm afraid we will have to agree to disagree on the paint scheme Jakko. It came over painted Panzergrau with Grief in white on the side similar to the other two that Rommel used - Adler and Igel. Then they were covered in a slurry of sand and mud to cover up as much of the Panzergrau as possible.
Thanks Mike , … what mould stuff do you use?Brad,
Got the pm, as we speak rubber in mould curing, should start casting tomorrow.
Cheers
Mike.
