Excellent work, Pawel. The effort expended to create such intricate wear and weathering really comes through on all levels. I particularly like the contrast between the hull, turret, and gun elements. The primer shields on the engine deck also add a nice dash of color.

Lovely to see this up on the site Spit.

All that hard work paid off, particularly the chipped zimmerit, which I know was a real headache for you.
The feeling you wanted to capture with this has been done perfectly, the primer barrel looks great too.

Top marks, lets see some more additions to Kampfgruppe Berlin!

Doug, Ed & James thank you friends, your comments are really mostly appreciated.
James, just something funny came to my mind. The zimmeritless places have been really painful, who said making your own zimm is a difficult part???!!! Just try to make right the places it has fallen off LOL
thanks to you and couple of other guys I finally made it

Pawel,

Really super concept! Now that you've kit bashed this beast, with excellent results, Dragon may come up with just such a kit . . . LOL. Enjoyed your build log and great to see your project in the Photo Features gallery.

Keep up the excellent build logs, I always learn something new from you and all those posting on your build logs.
