Dragon Kampfpanzer 70 in 1:35 scale

Finished in 2015. Dragon provided some nice detail on this kit, but the band tracks are a big disappointment. The tracks are a stretchy material that doesn’t sit well. There are a few omissions and some extra effort is needed to make the hatches fit. Good points include the photo-etched brass parts and nice fit overall. It was built straight from the box.

Vallejo Model Air paints were used to airbrush three shades of green in a light to dark pattern that emulates how real light falls on an object. Artists’ oil paints were employed to create slight variations in the color and to simulate grease stains

The model depicts a prototype on display at the army museum (Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung Koblenz) in Koblenz, Germany. As such, it is dusty and has evidence of rusting that match photos taken at the museum.
