Finally getting round to finishing this cat
Started almost five years ago.
My first kit with using PE, that was a lot of fun lol, the vehicle isn't based on any particular vehicle, it was a camo scheme I saw on another modellers panzer IV. Got the wheels put on tonight then will start weathering the tracks and get them fitted before adding the final bits and pieces then some final weathering

Got the tracks painted and fitted, didn't do much rust on them, not sure if they need a bit more or not. Next to put some spare track links on

Calling this cat finished, gave her some washes and some dusting, pleased with the result as I'd tried a few new technics on this kit, PE, metal barrel and dusting powders. Took a while to finally getting it finished, but I'm glad I did.
Constructive criticism more than :welcome: Image

No I mean the shiny barrel is good, crews used it to climb aboard and off. Well IMO

Very well done, looks great so far. This has inspired me to buy the kit and I will be putting it together along with a Tamiya Panzer IV D during my training back east in my hotel. Keeps me off the street :)

Great job, and the weathering just right to my eye.

I think its easy to overdo the whole wethering thing. Some kits are rusted to death, which is fine if the tanks been deserted, but you wouldn't risk setting foot on some let alone go to war in them.

The trouble lies in the fact that weathered tanks look terrific!
