Hi all!
I went this weekend at a national event hold in São Paulo/Brazil, and I took the 2nd place with my Panzer IV ausf G, from Italeri. I was surprised because this events don´t like too weathered models, and mine is a piggy one (++) .
Here is a pic:

Congratulations Paolo, the moment I see this Pz IV I knew it's a great model. I am not surprised that it won this award. It's a testimony to your fine building/painting/weathering skills.
Bravo!

Congatulations ArmouredSprue. Your Panzer IV with the weathering looks great.
I can´t imagine a tank without weathering.

Hy guys!
Thanks for the kind words, the show was wonderfull, and I had the opportunity to talk to a veteran pilot (WWII) he used to fly on P47D on Italy.
Was a great time! :-)
Cheers and thanks again
