Hello everybody, I just finished taking a few pictures of this kit. It is an old Dragon Kit with Griffon Models upgrade set. Paints are Tamiya and weathering with oils and pastel chalks. Let me know any suggestions!

Nice work Mirko, Very nice...

Tip Top very neat.

Have a Great Day

I like how you did the turret numbers, although I expect that they would still be visible from the factory finish(stencils). Nice job on the weathering! The tools are exceptional! Why did you leave off the turret mg? I see everybody painting German tracks a metallic color. I may be wrong, but I thought they were painted red oxide? This is important to me, as I am building a Pz.IV G as a contest entry and want to get them right.

Nicely done Mirko! I like the understated weathering and wear. Looks much more realistic than the beat to death battle wagons that some present. My only suggestion would be your cleaning rods for the main gun barrel should have some wear to them. As they are, they don't match the weathering of the rest of the machine. Again, Nicely done!!

Hi Matt. Tracks are just iron...the rustiness depends on how much or how little they are driven. A well-driven panzer will show little rust on the tracks. The next time that you see an excavation site, stop and look at the caterpillars. Many answers come from looking closely. I did this once and immediately decided to render my Panther tracks with loose soil on the forward half of each separate link.
