I think that it looks wonderful, nice and clean, makes a change and I would leave it as it is.
Only comment is regards te pic's , you need to use a white, reflective piece of cardboard to fill in (lighten up) the shadowsof your model.
great job
Henk

Hi Henk,
Thanks for the tip on using the white cardboard as a reflection medium. Simple and effective....I think!!
I'll try it the next time....
Maybe I can even cover it with alu-foil, so the reflection will be even better....Hmmmmmm.
Thanks again, John.

Great work on your Pz Kpfw IV Ausf J. Again, your color scheme came out really good. I've always liked the Dunkelgelb/Rotbraun combination.
I think a commander figure in the cupola hatch is needed. Also, a antenna on the left rear of the vehicle.
Other then that it looks spiffo !
Cheers !!

As I have said before, great job on that 2 tone scheme...it looks great.
Only trivial thing I can see ( for next time) is the exhaust looks a bit brown...try adding some more orange pigments. Then again it could be the photos.
Overall, outstanding job!

Hi John,
Nice clean build and paintjob, I would ad some dust and dirt, maybe some crew gear, canteens, helmets etc.as it is looking very factoryfresh.
Otherwise - perfect!
