This model is complete, but I am open for suggestions/comments. It is the Italeri 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtsschlepper. It was an ok kit, but it had a lot of problems with the track. I weathered it using mainly pastels. I used a little bit of drybrushing and only used a wash on the wheels. This is my first half-track ever so there was a lot of experimenting n' such. Anyway, feel free to throw in suggestions/comments.
PS- sorry the bedsheets in the backround aren't in scale

I love those sheets, 250 count?
Anyway about the model! Great job. Very nice. Although one minor deal, just a little to "clean", dust it a up a tad if you want. If you don't no biggie, looks great otherwise!

Looked good. 'Chu.
I would add a little more weathering on the lower chasis, but that's me. #:-)

Looks real nice! Adding a tad more weathering would make the detail shine.

Construction looks good and clean. The paint looks real good for a soft edged camo scheme. Two thoughts...the weave of the cover looks too open in scale and the colors look more Desert Storm than Weermacht, but that may be the pictures.

Nice vehicle you have here maybe you can also attach a few braches and leaves on the camonet/tilt on the cargo area?

Thanks for your comments ppl. The pics make it hard to see the weathering...I didn't do a very good job with them. But I like the Idea of putting branches in . The colors do look a little light...again...it might be the picture. I painted the exact color of the brand they suggested in the instructions. Thanks for the help

Nice job!
I think it looks fine the way it is, too much "weathering" is always a bad thing.
What's next?
