Your probley getting a bit tired of this old nashorn but if you want more photos here it is
with the painting 100% done, all it needs now is some extra tracks and decals.


Painting was all done in accrylics that I found at walmart craft section for 44cents each :-)

If that is a winter whitewash camo,here's something that would look interesting.repaint the top scale inch or so of the outside armor panels the original color,Grey or Dark Yellow.
It will look like the Nashorn had its foul weather tarp on while it was being painted. (++) (++) (++)

It looks good, especially for a first attempt at airbrushing. I hope, when I eventually get my airbrush, that it will look just as good.

But I agree a bit with TankCarl. The whitewash seems a bit too clean. Ofcourse weathering will probably dirty it a lot. Yet, IIRC much of the whitewash used by the Germans was of such a substance that it gradually came of over time, quite often needing redoing during the winter. And the places where it first came of would be at the edges. Also, it was usually put on in the field, which often can lead to an uneven finish.

Anyways, that is my two € 0.02 . Congrats with a so far great looking model.
