Pawel, I must say that is a fine looking Ferdy. Nice job on the camo and the tracks look terrific. Post some more of your work!

Good build Pawel! I was just building an Elefant with a similar camouflage pattern for the Father and Son campaign! Which brand's Ferdinand is that, Dragon's?
Unfortunately I got my zimmerit wrong for my Elefant and have to haul it back to "Manifacturing department" and ruin my paintwork... Hope mine turns out as good as yours.

Thanks Emre. Yes this is the dragon kit, premium version. I'm very eager to see your elefant as I have one in my stash.

Well, you might have to wait for a little while. The project is in complete overhaul as I've decided to change the painting scheme altogether. It will have to receive a new paintjob. I am building Italeri's very old Elefant, however I am very surprised by the outcome. They did a very fine job considering the age of the kit.

good luck with your kit. I always admire you guys who take some old kits and turn it into a more than descent work.

Hi Pawel. Great Ferdinand --- the camo and weathering are top notch. IMO, a figure would be a huge boost, to add life and contrast.

Thank you Frank. I agree with you but my skills are not sufficient to make a nice looking figure. I try to focus on vehicles which IMHO are easier as they are bigger. I think I should give a try though.
thx
