- ahoy hoy all, another quick down and dirty video covering the simple method how I tackle Panzer Grey for German World War Two Armor using the simple but solid method of Panel Fades. A prefect painting system for any monotone paint scheme :)
hope this proves useful :)

This is more useful than 99% of these tutorials on youtube
glad to be of help!
good lord Shane, I thought I'd seen all your builds then I find this, hole crap my friend, what an awesome paint job. the tiger is one of my favorite tanks, so I try and find all builds on that monster, I must say I like watching your painting, helps me. again truly a work of art.
+Clayton McClain thanks Clayton ! really glad you liked it my friend the Tiger is one hell of a cool subject and very much enjoyed working on the Krusk Tiger with Adam will hopefully be returning to another Tiger project in the future, thanks for the very kind words my friend !
Before Kursk, the first Tigers to see combat were on the 29th of August at Mga, south of Leningrad. They were painted in Panzer Grey. Major Richard Märker led the first attack, but they did not fare too well as the ground was completely unsuitable for the Tank in the North. After the August attack, 4 of the Tigers were once again used in an attack that again failed, they were whitewashed over the Panzer Grey for the September attack of 1942. I must say after watching this video I think I will try this technique and create a replica of one of the tanks used around Stalingrad from the 502.Abt.
In fact I will probably use this technique on all my early war 1939-40 models.
hopefully it will prove useful! Panzer units during that period in the East is such an interesting subject matter!
Another great video Shane thanks :) very useful
+Richard B thanks Richard !
That comes very close to the way I dry brush my models. Very interesting, because my biggest drawback on buying an airbrush (except for spending the money, haha!) was "losing" my dry brushing technique. So, it can be done in a way I can befriend with. Cool! Thanks for posting this, Shane! :D
+Non-Prolific 1/35th Scale Model Builder thanks Jens, not to worry my friend, I've found the paint brush has not been replaced at all by the Airbrush in my modeling just means I have different tools for the right job
not at all my friend glad you found it useful :)
Cheers, Shane! I'll definitely get me an airbrush. I still can do things in my old school ways. ;)
Nicely done Shane!
+Paul Alba thanks Paul !
nice demo of your approach :) i find this more natural looking than a full color modulation. well, its a matter of taste of course!
+Hamilkar Barkas thanks Mike its a nice and easy method and suits me down to the ground :P
Yes, well done, more subtle and realistic. I like Shane's use of a dark blue and grey to lighten the base coat, he got a darker (not so blue) result, which I like.
Great video Shame, just finished the same kit as part of my 1st 6 kits getting back into the hobby. Not at airbrush level just yet, I sprayed the whole kit G Grey on the spruces before building. Will try start weathering 🤣 take care.
awesome mate! Hope you have fun with the weathering!
Yup I paint all my kits first. I have just started weathering. My first model is a disaster?😒
Great video as always. I continue to learn from your tutoring! Are these colors appropriate for the early Panzer I’s and II’s? I want to do a Panzer II dio for the Invasion of France in 1940. Thanks for any advice.
Thank you! I'm no expert when it comes to the nitty details of German paint evolution but I would imagine its pretty close to what they would have had. I most important thing to keep in mind when working with Panzer Grey is not to push the highlights so far that you create a grey blue tone. As its very easy to lose grey tone
@@longlance67 Thanks Shane! I may just be getting to picky. By the time I weather it, there ill be a good dust layer anyway. Good point on the highlights! I hadn't thought about that! Many thanks again!
Great tutorial Shane and good control of the airbrush. I always enjoy watching how others paint and how they use their airbrushes. Love the color by the way. kutgw.
+Red Dragon ModelWerks thanks Gil ! it always fun sharing methods and seeing how everyone else tackles it too :)
Top tip. Dead useful reference Shane. Cheers mate
+Armour Empire not at all Mark, really glad you like it my friend !
Enjoyed this Shane, I will be returning to this video soon. I hope you're doing well!
+Ian E (That 1 35th Scale Show) Hiya Ian, thanks for looking mate ! I really want to try the glazing method you used a while back...maybe a tutorial in the works ? ;)
I'm doing well my friend, need to drop hangouts some as it been a while :)
Shane Smyth we have some stuff in the works ;) certainly how tos are on our to do list
Ian E deadly looking forward to it :)
thanks for sharing Shane this helps a lot mate cheers really enjoyed this tutorial top stuff bud kutgw cheers
+Faron Adams thanks Faron, really glad you enjoyed it my friend :)
Is that 1/35? Seems bigger?
it is indeed 1/35
how do you fix runs?
as in tracks ?
I don't think this version of the Tiger tank came in panzer grey.
Only a few very early prototypes that fought around Leningrad were in grey.
You put the hatches of the driver and the radio operator on wrong.
I'll be able to live with it, was more an experiment on trying to create an interesting panzer grey finish
Im building an early Panther model G. Was this tank ever in panzer grey?
I not an expert on Panther though it is highly likely that they would have been dark yellow by that in the war
Shane Smyth - scale models thank you!
Dunlegelb, or three tone camo scheme, ambush pattern
Nice to see a Panzer Grey not that stupid Blue colour.
ya I have never been keen on the that blue hue that some modelers then overdo of late, it doesn't look convincing at all
no just wipe it off or sand it.....?
Looks like rubbish to me ..... way too dark.
I'll go burn my model so
Most panzer grey models are actually way to bright
