great looking vehicle.
I like the bucket at the end of the tank.
Where did you get that?? And wich brand is it?

And I like your rust at the exhoust pipes. How did you make that? with MIg?

Very impressive! I particularly like the suggestion of the three colour scheme, as though it has worn or washed off.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

Hilbert, the bucket is from my parts box, I don't remember where it came from. The rusty muffler was made by first painting with tamiya red brown and then while the paint was still wet going over it lightly with MMP rust powder.

Martin, I may also do a Jagdpanther. I have one wainting on the shelf. It just depends on whether or not i get to it.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your comments. Steve the tracks are the ones that came with the kit. It's totally OOB except for the tow cable which I made from cotton string and the bucket which came from my parts box..
