FlakPanzer IV

[hook1169]

Hi all,

This is my first AFV in 1/35 and 4th Model since returning to the hobby in 20 years. Also this is my first time 'basing' or building a little Dio. Please offer any advice or feedback. I know that as I look at the pictures I have found many little things I think I should of done differently, or done more of. Especially not pleased with the exhaust. BUT I would never complete a model if I gave in to these little urges.

Hope you like.

























Wet Effects and Fresh mud sure make a nice addition.

Ooooh that's nice

Very good work especially as you're just coming back into the hobby, the chipping looks top notch.

The base is also very nice however, to improve the base and tracks/lower chassis don't really blend well together as they both have different mud tone on them so maybe applying a bit of the pigments and paints you used in the base on the lower parts of the vehicle would help the vehicle and base work better together.
But I think the exhaust looks pretty good actually

But apart from that it's a brilliant build!!

Very nice! Glad you've found your way back to the hobby after your long sabbatical. Dio looks great and the flakpanzer...amazing!

I definitely see your point here. I think I will make a few touch ups.

Thanks for the advice!

Great looking build mate, and nice little dio. As a (hopefully) constructive suggestion, maybe press the tracks into the mud a little more to depict the weight of the tank a little better.

Looks great! I enjoy the dirty ones! You didn't like your rusty exhaust. I have a method for rust. http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.p ... 1&start=40 might give you some tips how you wanna do yours.

Thanks for the info I took a look and like the results will try this next time! Looks pretty straight forward.
