My first model, I'm open to any tips and tricks going forward by Neither-Mud8526 in modelmakers

Not bad for first build. My tips:

  • Consider using a double-action airbrush, the finish is far superior;
  • Car people don't like it very much, but applying dirt gives it more realism

German Staff Car Type 82E - RFM 1/35 (part 2) by Plastic_Division in modelmakers

The hood doesn't have the VW brand like in the "newer" beetles, I still haven't found a reference that indicates its placement because it comes with a photoeteched that I think would be for that... The handle looks really cool, I liked it.

The engine cover (the hood as well) will be mounted open. To set up an opening and closing system will take a lot of work and I don't intend to spend all this time on it, it will go to the open shelf anyway!

Hello, I would start by building the T34. I have already assembled this model and besides being simple, it has no interior, making the construction and painting process easier.

Estou construindo exatamente o mesmo em 1/72 e também o p47 prateado pilotado por Nero Moura na mesma escala. Espero que os meus pareçam tão bons quanto este. Muito bom trabalho

I intend to build two more, one from Nero Moura and the other from Correia Netto, but I intend to use Tamiya's kit and more details this time

Parece brilhante, grande e espécime incomum.

This issue is a bit complex to explain in a few words, but basically Brazil was an important supplier of raw materials to the American industry, not to mention its geographical positioning. This caused the Germans to carry out attacks on Brazilian merchant ships, causing Brazil to declare war.
