Very nice Florian. Did you change your mind during the painting, as it appears the base colour is chipped and then sprayed white wash over it .... or is this just part of your process? No nit-picks from me .... I like what I see!!

Florian, very nice weathering. Your airbrush work is very nice also. I also have a Mk III awaiting build. It's next after a Pak40. Both I am hoping to finish in a winter camo pattern. Thanks for sharing your work.

Don't take this wrong ,but for me it is a little over weathered but a great job indeed.
Excellent work.
all combine for a nice well used tank.
So do you know on any E or F series of The Panzer III?
Thanks

Florian,
I do like the weathering - lower hull looks very good.
I think that you've overdose white a little, but maybe it's only the light...

Florian -
Nice looking finish! Your white-washed scheme came out top-notch, really like it. Good mud work on the running gear as well, this is one to share with everyone! Awesome job! Thanks for sharing your photos! Cheers!

I really like this Florian and don't think it's overdone at all but I suppose that's a matter of taste.
I like the torn off fender too.

Hi Florian. Must agree with Pat. This is just right up my street as well. Ive never done the whitewash finish to date, and if I thought I could pull this finish off .. Id be doing it right now. Love the finished effect .. no nit-picks from me. Nice one.

This is quite good! I love it!
BTW, would you mind outlining in more detail your process for chipping, whitewash, mud, etc.? I'm building Dragon's T-34/76 for the White-washed campaign, so it would be a great help.
Again, great job, and keep it up!

Very nice! Love the white wash, chipping and staining. Did you scratch build the big rear hull storage box?
