hello
Here are a particularly inspired display box containing two DRAGON German armor in 1/144 scale??? and yes it is

The packaging is well done, the engraving is exceptional for the size of the tank and in addition there is photoetched











installation soon

The mounting itself is easy (especially on this scale) only the photoetched deserves much attention








That's what happens after a formal painting

it goes without saying that everything must have its little armored diorama
The base is in plaster, the barrier is made of wood, the tree is a piece of root....

It's cute and very appealing to have models this tiny. The fighting compartment especially is nice with that etched component. I also like your painting. Two comments: it would have been nice if the gun shield had been provided in the kit as a layer or two of metal to make it thinner; and maybe you could tone down the number decals to be bit less white.?
Look forward to seeing the completed scene.

Thank you for these comments relevant. I would prefer a thinner shield.
The macro detail that the eye and sometimes the result is disappointing.
Here is the finished diorama
