"and after punching in the Ardennes, a German counter attack came again to France, strengthened by the new armour.
Reconnaissance panzer VK16.02, led main infantry attack ...."
New Amusing Hobby VK16.02 in 1/35. Interesting and easily assembled model. Weathering is made with AK chemistry.
more pictures on my blog.
I hope you like it.

"Crazy, Ivan"! Just crazy! I mean, this is really COOL and sharp!
Very interesting-looking and the cam is so nice and different - very "believable"! The figure adds a lot to the overall scene - you can just about hear it rumbling and squealing along!
Tell a little more about the kit and build, if you will. I've seen the kit posted around for sale, but have not actually seen one on a show-table nor have I handled or seen it personally. I have heard that some folks have some gripes about the Hobby Boss kit's track set, etc.... but about nothing pro or con about this Amusing Hobby kit. How did the kit go together, and how did its tracks work out? Did you add anything (PE, scratch details, etc.)?
NICE job, Pard! VERY inspirational. Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you Bob for kind comment
you can read In-box review here :
http://inscale.org/public/?p=3686 .
What I can tell you about build that this model is excellent. I don`t know what was issue with Hobby Boss model, but this one is easily assemble (something like Tamiya), parts fit very well (no putty is needed). PE parts are included. Interior of turret and gun is also good. Side skirts are movable. Tracks are plastic and workable. No glue is needed. Wheels are also workable. So if you ask me this model is excellent
cheers

Very nice job. Love the camo scheme. I'll have to have a read of your blog later when I get chance.

Looks like it's ready to roll right off the base! Nice choice for the camo. The only thing I didn't see in the review are the decals. Do these take a lot of work? My lhs has Amusing Hobby kits cheap. Somewhere around $20 a kit.

Thank you guys
Decals are thin, easy to put. All decals on the model are Amusing Hobby, only blue numbers are from Dragon. I wanted to make numbers like King Tigers in the Ardennes. I had no problem with decals with previous Amusing Hobby models ("Lowe" and VK1602). About price, they are not expensive and models are great. As i already said, easy to assemble, a lot of details, workable plastic track, PE...
