P.K.A. Ausf C "Cesar" - PatoPAzzo

Ausf. C is a fan design that fits into Maschinen Krieger 1/20 scale World. The "Cesar" suit should be an hardened, old P.K.A. Ausf.H converted to tank hunting use.

Here is an old tutorial from the old Painting Corps website.

Tank Weathering

This is a very simple straight forward approach. I plan on updating this in the future with full blown photos of the technique in progress. Step One - Though it's really not that short of a step... First, take your tank, paint it as you normally would, don't forget anything, it should look like it just rolled off the assembly line. Step Two - Scrape and cut and damage it The simplest, and most effective way to do this is by taking Chaos Black and making a mark on the tank. Step Three - Add some grime Around all the hatch openings, the bottoms of damage and scrapes, and along creases where you might think water would end up running through, you want to just lightly paint some lines of Chestnut Ink, watered down about 50/50 of course, to represent rust and other such grit.

Step Four - Go Muddin'! This is where things start getting real messy and easier on you. Step Five - Go...Dry Muddin'? Step Six - Last but not least That's it. GMC Water Tank Truck - Part 1: Enjoying Italeri's Oldie But Goodie.

GMC Water Tank Truck - Part 1: Enjoying Italeri's Oldie But Goodie

Approximately 1167 were converted to water tank trucks, to carry drinking water to the frontline troops, and is the subject choice of this feature. The 700 Gallon Water Truck Italeri continue to re-release some of their older kits and while this is more than 20 years old, it still holds its own today. The kit (#201) features the enclosed metal cab version and offers a nice alternative to the open-cab version from Tamiya. The kit consists of about 180 parts in dark green plastic, while windows and headlights are offered in clear plastic. The cab interior is pretty basic with front bench seat, driver's levers and steering wheel, but no foot pedals. The water tank itself presents no serious assembly problems.
