Hello Ken,

again a very nice model.

Carefully assembled, clean painted details like tools, spare wheel, rear lamps.

The add-ons (wooden boxes, jerry cans etc.) animate this tank much more.

The whole paint job with its weahtering is very good...maybe the tracks and suspension are a little bit too clean for a tank fought in winter...

Looking forward to your next model Graf Spee.

Very Nice finish on one of my favourite kits. Pity you didn't tackle the area around the pistol port. It should be raised like this and not sunken like the model.

Very nice, especially the whitewash ... very good! Nice that you ditched the kits tracks too (very stiff) for something that gives it a different appearance.

As far as the pistol port, that's the way Italeri made it ... sunken in.

Very nice work........as usual. Your models always have a nice 'feel' to them. Very pleasing to the eye. Thanks for sharing your work with us. Rob Liles
