Wow fantastic work!
If it wasn't for the scale being thrown by the fence behind it I wouldn't know if I was looking at a model or a historical photo!!
The wearthing is supberb - looks like afv should - a workhorse but all efforts have been made to maintain her.
Awesome - could you post some more photos but postion it with a better backdrop??
The only thing that stands out to me is the decals - they are very white - not one smudge of dirt on them which is unlikely in a combat zone. What do you think?

Many thanks for the comments andy.
i do agree on the decals,i shall try and dirty them up a bit later.i was thinking of adding the model to a winter background that i have in my picture folders but i dont know how to get it on.might have to print it and then use it as a back drop.
cheers karl

Like that one a lot, nice work! Are those the one-piece (vinyl?) tracks?

Very nice weathering/camo job. I really like a lot.
A couple of very small things to watch for in the next build.
I believe (could be wrong) the two handles on the PAK's brace plates on the ends of the legs would be in the down position for transport.
The white in the headlight slots shouldn't be there. They would have left that clear of any camo (unless it was blacked out - then it would be black)

Another great model Karl, well done.
Are you planning on putting it on a base or in dio at all?

Looks like you got an oil leak in the 4th picture. Looks good.

I like how the PAK and the halftrack are different shades of gray and the weathering is different.

looks excellent. the only critique i can offer is that it looks like the half track and the cannon came from very different enviroments - they don't really have a 'common dirt' to unify them. different shades of gray for different pieces of equipment is all good, but they do need to look like they have spent a little time in the same place, you know what I mean?
