An A7V for my Kaiser' s infantry...

To those interested  we added an A7V to our WWI German infantry. It' s for another demo battle, this time Germans vs French.

Here' s our two parts painting guide:

Happy Wargaming to All

Great job !
Cheers - Phil.

Very nice paint job!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nice work!

[FierceKitty]

What a grotesque vehicle that thing was!

[nikharwood]

Nicely funky 

[Leon]

Excellent, I like it!  



The worst thing about that vehicle is casting it!  The undercuts and detailing rip the mould to shreds and we only get half a dozen from each mould.

It's an immutable law of wargaming that the nicest models are of the most useless prototypes. Hope this one justifies the obvious skill and effort that's gone into producing it.

It is lovely, but please do yourself the favour of replacing the painted on crosses with decals, as that paint job deserves the best to finish it off nicely.

Thank you all for your compliments. Luckily Germans produced only 20 A7V so my German army needs only one...but my french army need many FT-17

You' re right but I didn' t find adaptable decals...in effect I have no idea where to find some 1/200 A7V decals

Maybe cutting and adapting some decals from an aircraft kit.

Thank you Leon I didn' t notice your decals page yet

However this A7V needs Balkan crosses, used in the late war. And they are thicker than the normal Balkan crosses for the aircrafts.
So I had had to handpaint them...


However I' ll use your decals page for another project

[Rothgar68]

Excellent! I need one of these for my Quar!

Ah right, that's a shame, cos I've got the Balkan cross ones here: http://www.minibits.net/GR-104-p685/, but they are thinner style crosses than you need.
