Hi everyone!
Here I present my newly built Flakpanzer Gepard from Tamiya. With an addition of Eduard PE set. Painted with Tamiya acrylics. And weathered with Vallejo pigments and AK interactive enemaels.

Hope you will like it! Waiting for your comments.

Thanks a lot.
I have made a mixture with AK Fresh mud and Vallejo pigments. Than I've took some with the brush and project the air from the airbrush over the the brush.
Than I've made some rainmarks with small round brush with White Spirit.

Hope it's understandable for you. I'm not used to describe model techniques with English

Well done with the build, and the "mudding"

I agree with everything said before, greatclean build, great realistic paint and weathering. You could add some bare metal paint to the tracks on the guidehorns and some red paint on the hubcaps, although that last thing is not done on all vehicles

I don't know if you were going for 100% accuracy, but German Gepards (almost?) never had their sideskirts mounted. Dutch Cheetah's did. Then there is the infamous "gap between the roadwheels" issue but if you don't know it is missing you won't see it's wrong anyway. I'm done rivetcounting for now

Thanks Anthony

Matt

Yes you are right. There were no sideskirts on German Gepards. But I use them to cover awful Tamiya rubber tracks. I wasn't going to be 100% accurate mostly I wanted to practice three color theme(it's my first one). Now I'm working on Polish Leopard 2A4 and it's going to be much more accurate
