Guy:

SWEET!

Really like the whole thing - those boxes are special! What from and how did you make them? How did you do that little tarp?

Hey, I have one of these 3/4 done on my bench RIGHT NOW! Doing a DAK w/ add-on frontal armor. You were reading my mind for to create some wood boxes as part of the "typical load" one can find on pics of these.

Great job! It's one of my fav little vehicles (I have about 4 Dragon kits of these, including the newest release...!), and you did it justice.

Thanks for sharing it!

Like it! Nicely weathered. Just the thing for bringing up the spuds!

Hi Guy. Excellent finish ... paint job and weathering are both top notch. Love the stowage as well, adds a lovely contrast to the Kleine base colour.
Lovely little kit this 3īnī1 .... have it built myself .. with the antannae! Your paint work makes me want to get it painted now.

Bob, thank you, I like this little tank because of its uncommon appearance.
It was fun to build it and I am sure more of this type will be built in the future, a DAK version like yours must be great too, with the add on armor !
The "wooden" boxes were made from plastic sheet, texture was carved by the help of a fine file. The tarp is a Milliput product, it was easy to make.

Steve, thank you !

Frank, thank you, I hope I can see your model with the paint on it soon !
The Panzer grey was a mixture of Revell Aqua Acrylics (I find it in a local shop !).
I prepared 5 tones to try to make it less dull, in a kind of color modulation way.
