My work bench is like a factory, there is a lot of models and dioramas that I started few months ago and now I'm finishing them one by one. Here is latest Dragon Models Sd.Kfz. 184 Ferdinand from Battle of Kursk. Painted with Tamiya colors. Weathering is made with artist oil colors and AK Interactive "Heavy Muddy" weathering set.

I hope you like it.

Nice chipping, but might be a bit overdone on this vehicle as the Ferdinands were still pretty new at the time of Kursk. Just wondering... with all the hatches open, did you include any kind of interior? I don't believe there are any Ferdinand/Elephant interiors available presently which is a pity since between Dragon and Tamiya four or five of these vehicles were released in the last few years.

Thank you very much for your comments. You are right, there is no interior details, but I wanted to make all hatches open. It looks more impressive to me with open hatches.

Hi Momcha,

Very very nice build indeed, I think Jaguar used to do an interior set

Momcha: Very nice model and ground work. As I recall, most of the Ferdinands at Kursk burned up their transmissions going up a hill, so the hatches should be open to let out all the smoke!!

Happy Modeling, -zon

Very nice, I guess the factory didn't do a good job priming the hatches so the paint has chipped a lot. But its an inspiring build.
