Thanks David, Brian and Ivan for your comments, all welcome and thanks all the friends for visit my post.

Brian, the chipped paint is acrylic (german grey from tamiya) put on the tank whit a little sponge, then, same paint whit thinner (very diluited) apply whit my brush 000 in irregular forms and accord whit scale

HI Armando. What you´ve done so far looks really good. the chips are convincing. I like the load you´ve added as well as the recognition flag .... this will add a nice colour contrast.
It appears (to me) that the chips were added directly on a mono base colour .... I think some pin washing would add more depth to the details. (maybe you have pin-washes but they dont come through in the photographs)
I can see this is still in progress, but it will look great with pastels/dust added ... just to show naturally why it has been so chipped so much.

Great job on that one. As allready pointed out by others the paintwork is really good and the air recognition flag adds some color.

Thanks for sharing

Dear Armando
Your Pz.III is looking real nice. Good idea with extras + flag on the back. With your exelent painting and building skills, you should try fitting some photoetc on the next project, just to add that finer detail/realism. Please don't take this the wrong way, I realy love your work. And building OOB is a great way to enjoy this hobby.
Best regards
Jacob
