Here is a pic of my 1/35 Tamiya Pz. Kpfw. IV Ausf. D Under construction at this moment.
Its coming along nicely, just a few tight parts (better than lose :-) )
Do you think the colour is close to "Panzer Grey"? (only painted the turent so far)
After the main coat of grey im gona dry brush green over it.

The picture is a bit blurry, it makes the color appear a bit on the blue side?

Why do you want to drybrush with green ?
A lighter shade of grey would seem more logical, don't you think ?

Color looks fine to me.

Colour looks fine to me also. Thing is....... colour depended on conditions ...... so there is no real right or wrong. But I find, mines usually end up darker, after washes etc, anyway. Depending on what way you finish your model, the colour may change a bit. More so if you try to achieve it.

The construstion was a dream to put together and the fit is great.
The only thing I noticed is on the back fenders, there is two triangle looking pieces, they will not fit so I had to take them off (maby I glued them in wrong)
Other than that it is a great model

New pics of it!!!!
All the paint on it is being done by brush (I like the look of brushed tanks better than spray ones...) Its tough getting the paint in those road wheels.
cheers

Looking good! I think it's a good kit, especially considering it's age.
I would recommend painting before building most sub-assemblies if you're brush painting. Just makes it easier for me.

I do that on some of the parts but if I paint all the part while there on the tree, or before they get glued down. I find my self scraping off the paint to glue, them then repainting.
thx for the comment
