Hi all
To day i finish my work " Red hetzer"
I need to start to paint the "Hetzer" with another color scheme so I use GOOGLE to search. I found that this scheme is very interesting, "Captured Hetzer (By Russia)". The russian green is very fun for me to paint and weathering so I decided to paint.

let to see













Thank you.

Very nicely done, I like your weathering and the rust on the muffler is spot on. A really nice job all around, thanks for sharing

Looks phenomenal! Whenever I see a kit built of this caliber I always hope there is a build log. 1 minor thing I did notice is I believe that the side skirts are mounted incorrectly. There are a lot of people on the forum better versed in German armour then me, but I believe they should look more like this.



Great stuff

Cheers,


Jeff

Really NICE! My LOVE that muffler... You appear to have captured well the nuance of rust without making it all lumpy - very pleasing and real, IMHO!

I confess I have not seen, in the past few years, anyway, anyone post that the basic Russian green is an "interesting paint scheme"! But you did it very well and surely you have made it "interesting"!

Yes - those schurzen are indeed upside-down! But that could be "Russian"!

I did get a bit of a chuckle over your jack-block... super well-done it is! But... hilarity sets in when I see that those Russians, otherwise seen to have often been somewhat "casual and less-than-wholly-detail-oriented" in repainting captured equipment, were rather "OCD" when it came to that J-block! Exceptionally careful, they were, to paint ONLY the block strapping in their standard armor green - just like as if it were a factory job!

I LIKE the whole thing and found it very pleasing as an alternative to the "typical" "OEM / end user" paint-job!

Cheers!

Bob

Very nice Nattapong. I like the colour modulation use, and how it is reduced to perfection with the weathering. Very nice!! Good spot with side armor Jeff ... I kept looking at it and couldnīt work out what felt wrong ... I knew something was strange but got a realy "Doh" moment when I read your post.
