Hi folks ! 
My final reveal of my entry in this SiG , I used 4 Tamiya Kits in 1/48 to depict a scene in the winter in 1945 somewhere in the Ardennes , depicting a German mixed column of PanzerGrenadiers , a PzIV tank , an Halftrack , a scwhimwagen and a Whirberlind PzIV Flak Tank ...all kits from Tamiya , and really like the 1/48 scale and the Tamiya kits ...you can get to do some nice dioramas with less space than using 1/35 , the level of detail is so nice, and it is a pitty that the brands do not bet more in releasing 1/48 kits , Tamiya now launched the JGSDF tank , a modern one , and I'm waiting that they release some Abraams or a leopard in this scale , could be great kits ...well this is related with the PzIV ...it is one of the most used base for German Tanks during WWII and they used it from almost the beggining till the end of the war , and you have a lot of different vehicles, this build of mine depict two of them , but you have the Nashorn , the JAgdPanzers all using the same base , and a lot of tank variants ...
well my final reveal here ...about the final reveal , I didn't want to use too much snow ... even I didn't wash the vehicles as it was used to be done during winter ...I saw some pictures in Ardennes and some German vehicles have the usual thre tone Camo used at this time , well it was my option and my build and I enjoyed a lot doing this one ...hope you like also ,

the Reveal photos next :
Aerial view ...imagine the vehicles inside a forest of those trees , the will merged in the woods ...it is nice to see the three camo scheme with the trees that I choose and imagine how hard could be for the planes to see them
Well that's it for now ! Hope you enjoy the build and the diorama !
