British SAS Jeep in desert pink camo (Tamiya 1/35 scale model)

Рет қаралды 51,358

Күн бұрын

Full build and review of Tamiya's British SAS Jeep in 1/35 scale. This is an old model kit, first released in 1974, which still builds very well. The kit was painted in AK Real Colors, primarily using their British Desert Pink ZI colour. Although I haven't used them, this kit comes with two figures and well as a lot of stowage items. You can find the kit here: amzn.to/370Fk7H
The Special Air Service was born in the deserts of North Africa, formed in 1941 as a force to undertake raids deep behind enemy lines. The British SAS Jeep is a modified version of the US Willys Jeep with all unnecessary items removed to reduce weight and increase carrying capacity on these long range missions. Often working in conjunction with the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG), the SAS conducted successful raids on airfields and other installations throughout the North African campaign.

Amazing work!!! To weather seats, I usually do a coat of Vallejo beige brown, dry brush with tan earth, and a VERY dry, dry brush with off white, then a wash with a darker brown, that’s if the seat has a texture. I have a video of a Tamiya willys I finished a few days ago coming out this week, where you can see.

well we are in lock down here in NZ so have started. Am using the more modern Tamiya jeep kit, re using the old bonnet and pinching the stowage from the old one, but replacing the jerry can handles so they are three instead of two. Also replacing the vickers K with the Bronco ones from their commonwealth afv set and using more modern small arms and haversacks from the spares box. Need to find or manufacture a second pare wheel holder also. Think I will follow your painting guide, but just trying to find out if the jeep was over sprayed in desert yellow as this would mean there could be green coming through in some of the chipping and underneath.

Nice work on the build and weathering... the only comment I would make is around the tyres, in my research I have found that most of the pictures of vehicles of this type is that the tyres are quite black and I think that's because the sand acts as a polish for the tyres as they pass through it. but still a fantastic old kit that you've done justice to.

I have the SAS Pink Panther by Tamiya and have been trying to decide on the pink! The story I have read is that they almost ran into a plane that had crashed in the desert, and when they found out what said plane was they discovered that it was red but the sun had bleached it to a pink, hence this is why they painted their land rovers/jeeps pink. I thought the pink was more a salmon pink but I guess it would depend on how long the plane had been in the sun! As for seats I made a Airfix 1/12 Bentley Blower after looking @ the Birkin Blower (green seats) they were heavily scuffed and the brown leather was visible, to replicate this I scratched them then dabbed a paint brush dipped in Tamiya extra thin to give the worn look. It looked pretty convincing once painted. TFS, G :)

@ModelNerd 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Graeme - I've certainly accidentally damaged paintwork using Tamiya extra thin before, but I've never thought of using it for weathering! I might have to give that a try :)

Desert sun and blown dust reduces colours significantly. Early childhood on backside of Sahara Desert in Katsina followed by Tiv Benue region of Nigeria means I know why people from hot dry areas tend to choose intense colours - they fade rapidly. Parents also preferred such intense colours. So intense pink faded would be appropriate. Mum drove a standard colonial service kit car for her child health projects in early 1950s northern Nigeria. Later, about 1960, we had a Ford Custom - you had to pick your rut and stick with it for huge number of miles on the red dirt roads, I used to jump out to help Dad smash down the rut if we had to change line. Dust got into everything

Hi - great build, love the weathering. For a fabric effect on a flat surface try a base colour, allow to dry, then a slightly lighter or darker mix of it applied on top. While this top coat is still a bit wet, press a piece of lint-free cloth to it, then remove. You need a piece of cloth with a definite texture to it - this will transfer the texture of the cloth to the paint. Be careful not to smudge the effect, and experiment with oddments of cloth (it only takes a few minutes) to find the texture you want.

I have used a blend of pastel powders, mostly black (or dark gray) and dark brown. Carefully scrubbing them with an old brush into/onto the center of the seat’s painted surfaces (seat and back) allows you to control the depth of the powder saturation and looks pretty realistic for both dirt and sweat stains on the fabric of the seat. Hope this helps.

Tbh for the seats, I just used a diluted Vallejo paint over a black primer, and I didn't put a uniform paint, I just did that in a swirling motion around the edges, so the paint is thicker around the side edges, whereas in the middle and on top, where the crew would constantly rub their back against the seat, the black primer is still showing through, giving the appearance of a worn, weathered fabric.

Nicely done as per usual, i turned mine’s into a Sonderverband 288v group version watching a retreating group of Ramke coming in to a safe zone with a little pak 30 and some brick work as protection, i used the same figures but with german heads with side caps (as they liked to use captured uniforms and equipment as much as they did their own) i used some photo etch german belt buckles and tamiya decals plus the british figures from the mini art dingo scout car using the same etch and decals on them for rear crew one on the gun mount and one standing to the side, the officer is done standing with his binoculars watching for anyone following, the tamiya Ramke Kubel wagon set was used with a old style horch from tamiya with various figures also from tamiya, mini art, the tristar driver from the Africa Korp infantry set and two dragon sets, modellers will know the figures i mean, the Ramke dragon figure set walking and the Fallschirm 3rd reg as the guard unit from dragon, it’s still a work in progress as it’s a decent sized one, plus three home made palm tree’s will add the foliage.

Tamiya and Italery , the ancient Willy MB Jeep are accurate and right ! . Another good SAS kit is the Dragon kit but it's a little bit expensive . Tamiya even today , gives wrong handles for the fuel cans . All fuel wwii military cans , allies , italian , even german jerrycans had three handles and never , never , never two ! . Remember the old Tamiyas' wrong kit with german jerrycans and the oil barrels ? . Look photos of allies fuel cans of wwii ! . Enter to SAS site and you'll see , ' another ' Willys' Jeep MB , another colors , weapons , clothing , Willy MB Jeep modifications , even tires , the death of formalism ! . The germans called them gypsies ! ! ! , SAS were not only British but Anzacs , French , Greeks ... ! . Miniart and Gaspatch have the right and accurate fuel cans . You must see the Gaspatch 1:35 British , US and German 3D fuel cans , amazing ! . See also the 1:35 Gaspatch machine guns ! . The PSP's are too thick , replaced them from another kit ( dragon , miniart ... ) or aftermarket kit . The wheels its seems to me good , but see the DES MODELS and PANZER MODELS . Also wrong are the British cantins , replaced them from the Miniarts' British weapons kit . Use Evergreen or AK , plastic stripes to make the ' cages ' of US fuel cans , because Tamiyas' are too thick . I liked your work , with bibliography and Google searching you'll be pro , because you have the gift ! .

The pink camo was only used post war on British SAS Land Rovers in Darfur, Sudan, the Tamiya model is based on a New Zealand SAS or Rhodesian SAS jeep, both countries did use camoflague patterns in the desert and, even in Italy, but not pink

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. Desert Pink ZI (as shown here) was used by British forces from roughly October 1942 to April the following year. I the pink you might be referring to is a completely different colour used, as you say, on post war SAS vehicles (the Land Rover itself being a post war vehicle).
