Hello everyone
My last project - Sdkfz 231 from AFV. Very good model, but AFV made some mistakes in the instructions. I included in my 231 kit additional armour shield (scratch) so-colled Pak-schütz, a kind of armoured box placed at the front for increasing protection against enemy anti-tank fire. I painted Tamiya and Lifecolor acrylic paint and used hairspray technique.
Thanks for looking.
all comments welcome
best regards Krzysztof

Very impressive. The weathering is perfect. The soil on the tires looks like over spray from the hubs. It may just be the photo.

Awesome work mate. A couple of questions if you don't mind. Are the decals painted or from a decal sheet? How did you get the dust affect on the wheels? And could you explain the hairspray technique a little? I would like to use that on my next model.

Nicely done! You did a great job on the front armor plate. The only thing I see that I'd think about adding is a tie down for that jerry can on the rear fender. Otherwise, it's one you can be proud of.

Very nicely done. Paint and weathering is just superb and very realistic.
Matt, I took a real good look, and on my laptop the dirt effects on the tires is a different shade then the wheels.
