Hello all

Here is my Horch 4x4 1a that I have under construction. This is after i have mudded it up a bit for the weathering.

The mud was made from Tamiya putty, PollyScale "Dirt" paint. and actual finly ground up dirt for texture.







The Turntable for the Flak 38 is on the platform to show ho i plan to mount it.. as for Recoil assume there is a metal framework under the platform to handle that and the wood is just there for the gunner and loader to stand on. May not be realistic but I like it.

Let me have your honest opionions on this mud application as i've never weathered anything quite this way or this "dirty" before.

Is this going on a diorama? If not then the mud may look a little overdone. If it is, then I'll look forward to seeing it finished. With the crumpled wing and the weathering it'll look good.

Nice improvements Del, the Flak 38 will make the kit even better.
