Thanks William... Much appreciated 👍

Thanks David I am glad you enjoyed the video.

C.A/Superglue VMS make a black C.A. glue that is 'slow action' so you have time to move a piece before it sets.

Ok, thank you!

Another question, (sorry it's late) where did you buy the extra parts like the metal gun, the muzzle, or the tablecloth/blanket, things like this? I have inquired about this model and I am still looking.

@@ItsRainyInFrance Everything shown at the start of the video 'Whats in the box' is in the box as part of the kit. The only extras were the added stowage from Value Gear and the home made camo net. Right now I see 2 stores in UK the have the kit. Try searching: Dragon sdkfz 234/2 puma and Im sure you will find it.

​@@afv-studio oh ok, I wasn't sure, thank you

Thanks

Satin before pin-wash, Matt when completed

I will stick at 15psi for all my airbrushing. Thinning ratio... Well how long is a piece of string. Really it depends on the paint in the pot. Even same brand will be different between colours. The olive green here is great, no spatter hardly at all. The red-brown is a sod and very hard not to get more speckle/splatter at same thinner ratio. I will thin these lacquer paints 4 or 5:1 sometimes more. I even have times when half way through a fill I see no colour and when I look in, its just half a cup of thinners sitting there because all the pigment has settled and gone out the needle. Other factors are, an airbrush with good trigger action, you need to know when paint is going to flow or suddenly you have a spiders web going on (and that a disaster). Cleaning the needle regularly as well especially with acrylics as these build up and dry faster on the tip, this will give you speckling as well, so keep a brush and small pot of thinner next to you to clean.

@@afv-studio Thanks for the detailed answer! I asked because I made exact the same expierence with both of the colours. The Olivgrün goes like a charm, but the Rot-Braun is driving me crazy. I tried different pressures and thinning ratios with this colour in my Evolution with a 0.2 needle/nozzle but no luck so far to achieve an acceptable result. Thanks for the tip with keeping the needle clean! I will try it again with 15psi and more thinner ...

@@kevin.reible There you go. Its not you after all. At least it sounds like you have a nice airbrush in the 2024 Evolution. You wont go wrong there. Its a better brush than my more costly (cult of paint) Infinity.

@@afv-studio Thank you for giving me courage. It's the "old" Silverline Evolution, just bought it right before the new was released - if I had known they will setup a new model ...

@@kevin.reible Oh Dam. You know its still a decent airbrush. you might consider matching your .2 needle with their new .28 nozzle. I believe this contributes to the performance of the new Evo. And there is a hack that will lessen some of the play in the trigger. 2 PTFE nozzel washers placed on that spindle that slots into the trigger slot. That would help tighten everything up trigger related. I use the 2 washer hack on my old infinity and it does help a bit.

Thanks again Gary. Glad you liked it. I have a Free Patreon that you are welcome to join. I would stay with CW as well as his Patreon is well worth the small fee. Those PDF guides are inspired. So you can be part of 2 communities without it hitting your wallet twice. 😉

Hi Gary, That's amazing. Great response come from someone who is used to watching ''The Master'' Oh well done Ian(CW). Yeah he said was going to give me a shout out. A really great guy, lots of time for anyone who wants to talk to him. I'll thank him later. Welcome aboard 👍

Thanks

Thanks Greg...Tweezers and scalpel the 2 most versatile tools for model making

Yeah that's the Meng Panther that I mentioned. Well It looks like I'll be doing another soon. I wonder if a year on I can do better.

Your welcome commander 🫡

Thanks Tony. No I couldnt really make a living from doing this. This is just my hobby and AFV Studio is where I show my work. But thanks for thinking I might be 🫡

@@afv-studio No problem.... keep up the good work...

Your welcome. Thanks

Thanks John. I use a lot of tools made by Dspiae... I would recommend as good quality. They also make a really nice pin vice set (not the 1 seen in this video) and 'Godhand' like side cutters. There are lots of reviews of their tools on youtube do a quick search, they are really nice to use, and best pricing is on Aliexpress.

Thanks Danielle. It's aways the way when there is some interior to work on. I'll bank your Marder II tip and keep an eye out for it, when I'm trawling through Cyberhobby. Hopefully it will get a rerelease some time, and I can bag it then.

Thanks Glenn. Come to think of it I usually do it your way as well. Maybe this time as it all went on so easy I just thought I would grab both ends with the tweezers and clamp it together. I like your work BTW, I'll probably be over more to get some diorama tips in the future.

@@afv-studio thanks man and yeah you did it just fine. It just always seemed that when it grabbed on the drive sprockets I didn’t have to fool with it as much but I felt like I was doing it myself lol👍. He definitely have better building skills than me!

@@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti Thanks, I need to work on my painting skill a bit more to get to your level. Getting better every build 😉and I will mention that @LocktOnArt had a big influence on how I went about doing this kit.
