The second video and the second of four planned episodes from the Meng project. Thus, we are approaching the end of the somewhat drawn out 😉 Build a model with us contest, just in time for the pre-Christmas period. The video depicts my struggles with painting the camouflage on this tank, the First World War…

Renault ft 17 meng chipping and filters

Chipping done and filters laid!

Well, the model is gaining color and is ready for weathering. As you may remember, the scratches were to be done on a chipping medium, which is a primer under the base paint that destabilizes its adhesion after water activation. This procedure should be done up to 2-3 hours after painting while the paint is…

Meng FT 17 French cammo painted

Risk it for a biscuit… Masking with the liquid mask on chipping medium

I like experiments. I planned early on that the model would be in three-color French camouflage since such tanks were on the equipment of the 1st tank regiment of the Haller army, which my model represents. Since I already have an undercoat in the perfect color for chipping, it was a shame not to use…

Why is the Mr Hobby surfacer the best primer ever for tank models

Why Mr. Mahogany Surfacer 1000 primer is the world’s best for tank and armored vehicle models.

The primer for the Meng kit is laid. In the process of placing it, a thought came to me that I think would be worth sharing, especially with beginner modelers. These, very often, ask in discussion groups – what primer for tank models in green camouflage, sand, NATO, or this or that. And in order…

Unfortunately, it requires quite labor-intensive puttying of…

FT glued together! When will the video be out?

Uhh, that suspension 😀 It took a lot of concentration to follow the instructions to not confuse the positioning of the parts. Basically, I have the model finished, and the base is left, which, however, consists of 5 pieces plus the finished bags, which I will paint separately. I will admit that I judged the…

FT17 Meng background

Hull already glued together

I have already closed the hull – physically and figuratively. This means that the interior will not be exposed. Hence, the hatches at the front of the vehicle remain closed, which, for the rest, will make it easier for us to paint the camouflage. Here, the biggest disadvantage of the Meng kit is revealed, i.e.,…
