Here is my recently finished dml panzer IV ausf f1 smart kit built strait out of the box with the addition of the muzzle cover. Painted with two tone troppen scheme for early 42 iirc tamyia acrylics, markings from archer and the kit supplied sheet. oil washes of Mig and W&N with odourless solvent. this kit was a joy to build. though i nearly had a track disaster using mineral spirits for the wash on them. started to melt the cement and break apart but i think it worked out quite well. This is my first model posted on here. I hope the pics work out and if so i have a elephant with zim to post as well. hope you enjoy as much as i did.
Cheers
Jon

Hi Jon,
Nicely done! With just the right amount of dusting and weathering.
Hope to see you post that Elefant soon, thanks for showing.

Hi Jon. Really nice model .... can´t fault anything you´ve done, but it could use some stowage or figures or both to give it some life and add contrast to the mono colour. Have you any plans to take it to the next level?

Hi Frank, thanks. Yes i agree about at least some stowage. i am currently in the process of moving across canada and dont have my spares box or most of my refrence material here currently but ill have that soon enough. im hoping to do my first mini diorama with this one. Do you have any suggestions?
