Sherman II - work in progress 2 -
Ho effettuato il chipping sulle superfici del carro che ritengo più facili all'usura .
I've done the chipping on the surfaces of the tank that I think the easiest to wear.

Sherman II - Primo lavaggio di invecchiamento -
Ho iniziato con il primo lavaggio con AK 066 su tutte le superfici del carro comprese le ruote . Poi con il lavaggio color sabbia metterò in evidenza gli accumuli della stessa sullo scafo .
I started with the first wash with AK 066 on all surfaces of the tank including wheels. Then wash with sand color will highlight the accumulations of the same hull.

Sherman II - Modifica Mimetica -
Ho dovuto modificare la mimetica dietro consiglio del sig.Mike Starmer , non ho potuto fare più di così per non rischiare di rovinare tutto , è stato un lavoro lungo che mi ha portato via un intero pomeriggio ,tra mascherature e pittura e rifare i colori giusti....speriamo bene.
I had to change the disruptive pattern on the advice of sig.Mike Starmer, I could not do more than that to not risk ruining everything, it was a long job that took me a whole afternoon, including masking and painting and do it the right colors well .... hopefully.

Work in progress - Sherman II -
Ho ultimato la pittura dei cingoli spruzzando con l'aerografo , sulle parti in acciaio , XF68 miscelato al 50% con X10 . Allo stesso ho aggiunto il diluente X20A per rendere il colore più liquido . Dopo circa 24 ore ho ripassato il metallo con il pigmento Mig P031 (Vietnam Earth) per simulare la ruggine , le parti gommate sono state trattate allo stesso modo ma con il pigmento Mig P037 ( Gulf War Sand) . Ho eseguito poi il montaggio dei cingoli sul carro . A questo punto ho fatto una miscela di XF55 ( 10%) X22 (20%) diluente X20A (70%) e dopo aver montato lo scafo superiore e la torretta ho spruzzato questo colore molto diluito e poco coprente sui fianchi , sul fronte e sul retro del carro , il risultato è nelle foto.
I finished the painting of the tracks by spraying with an airbrush, the steel parts, XF68 mixed with 50% with X10. Likewise I added the X20A thinner to make the color more liquid. After about 24 hours I rehearsed the metal with Mig pigment P031 (Vietnam Earth) to simulate rust, rubber parts have been treated the same way but with Mig pigment P037 (Gulf War Sand). I then run the installation of the tracks on the tank. At this point I made a mixture of XF55 (10%) X22 (20%) thinner X20A (70%) and after fitting the upper hull and turret I sprayed this color very diluted and short covering on the sides, front and back of the tank, the result is in the pictures.

Sherman II - 9th Queen's Royal Lancers - 2nd Armoured Brigade - 1st Armoured Division - C Squadron -
Oggi ho fissato la decals ( il numero 2 dietro la torretta è della Bison ) mentre gli altri simboli compreso il numero del carro sono transfer della Archer. Ho anche dipinto i cingoli con XF 1 a seguire sulla parte gommata ho usato l' XF85 (rubber black) aggiungendo un pò di XF55 per schiarire . Ora ho mascherato la parte gommata sia sotto che sopra per dipingere le parti in metallo .
Today I fixed the decals (the number 2 behind turret is the Bison ), while the other symbols including the number of the tank are the transfer of the Archer.
I also painted the tracks with XF 1 to follow on the rubber part I used the XF85 ( rubber black ) by adding a little to lighten XF55. Now I've masked the rubber part both below and above to paint the metal parts.

Sherman II - Pittura scafo superiore -
Ho appena finito di dipingere la parte superiore dello scafo di questo Sherman II e quindi pubblico queste foto evidenziando il cerchio giallo dipinto con l'aerografo su maschera da me costruita. I due scafi non sono incollati.
I just finished painting the upper part of the hull of this Sherman II and then the public these photos showing the yellow circle with the airbrush painting on the mask built by me.
The two hulls are not glued.

Variante prese d'aria ( cover grouser compartment )
Variante in corso d'opera . Ho dovuto cambiare le due prese di ventilazione sul retro dello scafo superiore dello Sherman perchè sono semicilindriche e non dritte come si vede dalla foto che pubblico per discussione.
Variation in course of work. I had to change the two vents on the rear of the upper hull of the Sherman because they are semi-cylindrical and not straight as you can see from the photo that public discussion.

Sherman II - Pittura mimetica sulla torretta -
Ho iniziato la pittura della mimetica sulla torretta usando come fondo l'XF61 e per schiarire l' XF67 aggiungendo a questo un pò di bianco XF2 e successivamente del XF55 . Prima della pittura ho usato il patafix della UHU quello giallo per la mascheratura. Datemi voi cari amici un giudizio su questa pittura.
I started painting the camouflage on the bottom of the turret using as XF61 and to lighten the 'XF67 adding to this a little bit of white XF2 and then the XF55. Before painting I used UHU patafix the yellow one for masking. Give me you dear friends a review of this painting.
