Mufflers are done to a tee.....the colour and shading is spot on....what's ya secret..
Very nice texture on the mantlet very realistic.
To me it looks like a realtively new tank that's been through some very muddy terrain and then forded a stream so that all the heavy mud on the wheels is washed away.
Great work.

Great work.

I saw the method I used on the exhaust on YouTube. I painted them Tamiya flat flesh, sponged on Tamiya hull red and them gave them a dark brown oil wash.

You made me realize that the inner surface of the tracks was too clean. I went back to the bench and added some pigments to them real quick. I think it needs more work, maybe some more dark pigments in places.

The guys have already said it but the weathering & detailing are suberb.

Awesome job & great to see you back at the bench too

Its the last few months of the war and its sheer desperation keeping the crew going. I'm not romanticizing it but the JT always symbolizes the twilight of the German mechanized forces to me. Seeing a kit this good sets it off for me. Great work
