Well, Lads, this is one of my last project in the PanzerModel Forum Group Build contest

Get to work!

Hi Marcos,

That must be a great collection of kits you have now?. Excellent work on the turret marking BTW, and it is good to see the contrast between the two tanks.

Another coupld of cracking kits for you to add to your collection.

Look forward to the next build.

Great builds as usual Marcos and really good finish with a nice variation in the tone of the paint.

That's a fantastic collection of kits Marcos- how long have you been building?
