BR 52 Locomotive Gallery

Wirblewind Camo Finished



During the painting of the BR 52 locomotive, I also completed the Panzer IV Wirblewind. I did a late war/ Battle of the Bulge 3 color camo. Photos of these anit-aircraft tank are hard to come by so I am not recreating any specific tank.

At this point the interior anti-aircraft gun has been painted and assembled in the turret. I then masked it off and sprayed the exterior with Dark Yellow, Red Brown and Olive Green. Tracks were painted black and then had an oil wash of Burnt Sieanna applied. After painting the tank, I then put the tracks on.

BR 52 Finished

I finished all of the detail paint work: paint chipping, pastel dirt, pastel washes, etc.

However, I'm unable to get any great photographs due to my lighting limitations and depth of field issues.

So I am going to have a photographer friend photograph it for me....
stay tuned.
