Academy Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer (Early Version) 1/35

Hey folks! Hope you're all safe and sound despite the circumstances.
Here's another one of my quarantine builds. Academy's Jagdpanzer 38(t) Early Version 1/35. Tried to pay attention to advice I got before with making the chipping more noticeable. Also tried to make the streaking and fading a bit more pronounced vs my prior work on the Tamiya Jagdpanther. I brushed steel pigments on the tracks but it doesn't show well on the camera. Might need more light or use a brighter metallic sheen pigment or paint to make it pop.
Would again highly appreciate any constructive feedback. Thanks folks and stay healthy

I think you've done a great job with this Kunjuro but if I was to timidly offer you a suggestion, the weathering overall is good and subdued but the spare tracks don't fit the pattern and look new.
Cheers
Paul

Thanks @Quax ! I've gone ahead and tried to weather the spare tracks some more. Will try to give it a more rusty and worn out look.

Lovely looking Hetzer! I have one in my stash, not sure if it's the Academy kit I have I can't remember now, I'll get round to building it one day.

That looks great.
What great weathering; makes the monotone Dunklegelb look interesting. Fine work on a small and simple vehicle that's essentially just 5 flat armour plates. Great work.
