Hey Guys,
Submitted for your perusal. Here is my Panzer II, decked out in Bengasi 1943 colors.
Let me know what you think. Any and all criticism is welcome. Kit is stock with some add on scratch built details.

Thanks

Welome to Armorama

Looks great :-) I like it a lot, wonderful paint and weathering job. The Camo looks great and nice drybrushing. On a personal opinion, I like to rust up the tracks a bit myself, but I like the base metalic color you used for them :-)

Great Job Looking forward to seeing more from you !
Welcome Aboard again

I disagree about rusting the track. It's desert, not much moisture to cause rust there, plus the sand would constantly sand blast. Really exceptional model there, I might have weathered it a little harsher due to desert conditions, but a truly fine piece of work.

That`s a really nice pz 2 you have got there and I really love the camoscheme.. Simply superb.. The tracks are good as they are now. I can`t see in the pics if there is any paintchipping if not you could add that (small chips) but then again that is just me nitpicking on a really fine model..

Great Job and congrats

Mmm... critics.... oh yes the 2nd and the 4th pic are slightly ot of focus!!!
Another great job, congrats Chevalier!!!

good work private!
I like the subtle weathering

Excellent Paint Job and Dry Brushing! Which kit is that...?

Great finish again chevalier. You are making a habit of this! I made this recently as well to try out some ideas. Lovely little kit and is finished really well. The camo is excellent and the drybrushing gives it a nice dusty feel.

Tuna ...... its tamiya´s panzer II ausf F/G. Should be easy to find and should cost around $10. Great little kit for experimenting and is quick and simple to build. Leaves time then to concentrate on painting skills.

Thanks for the comments,

Spot on Plasticbattle, its a Tamiya kit. The only real changes I had to make to the kit were the big gaps in the chasis between the upper deck and the lower chasis. This was just filled in with some evergreen stock and feathered to match the contours of the fenders.
The muffler shroud is a piece of heavy drafting mylar that I made a grid on. At each intersection of the grid I punched a small hole. This was then smoothed and then attached to the existing shroud. Once painted it works as well as any p/e. The antenae was removed from its stowed position in the trough and a piece of wire used. I scratched a new antenae mount and load coil for it. The tow cable up front is 4 pieces of wire twisted together and a loop clamp made from a piece of copper and soddered around the ends. The road wheels have some wear on them carved with an x-acto blade. Nothing serious just some scuffs and small imperfections from road damage. Once drybrushed though they stand out and look great. It has since been moved to its display base with a small patch of desert ground. Thanks for the critique guys.

OOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I like!

btw...........WELCOME!!!

Looking good! Great paint job.

Good job. That is impressive work

Wow! Very nice, very nice.

Great Job!
The weathering and paint job are outstanding.
No rust on the tracks, sand shines up metal just like you have shown.

Keep up the good work!

Harry

Outstanding Job!! Well done. I am at the weathering stage of a Mk IV and it's winning!!

Good work there. the only thing i'd recommend is some idler wheels from tamiya's wespe kit. stug

Thanks again guys.

Stugiiif - I'm going to do the G variant next. I'll have to go out and pick up a set. Thanks.
