It's amazing, very good color modulation. I like your model. Very good weathering and chipping. Good luck.

Perfect paintjob and weathering. Your build makes me want to build the one I have in my stash, and thats what it's all about, to inspire other people. Please keep posting your builds.
Best regards

Dear Franzesco,

What a perfect paint job. I envy your technical abbilities.
But, please, allow me one comment: these vehicles were kept secret until the very moment they were used in an obscure trial (which was a crime by War Law) to reach the Schelde area from the Ardenne region in a lay out (as US vehicles and troops) that would create the confusion amongst US troops, needed to break through the Allied lines. Therefore, all these vehicles were completely reshaped and repainted in olive drab, and only used in the attempt to break through. Therefore, your weathering and rust marks are historically less likely.
Nevertheless: I surely admire the way you have shown me what is technically possible. RESPECT for that. My comment is only directed to the subject, absolutely NOT the techniques used. I admit that I can learn a lot from you without any doubt.

Regards,

Paul

It's all been said so there's not much more to add than this is the nicest one built so far!

I have one and have been holding out on building it for the next Panther Campaign so at least I have something to judge it by.

This is one of those "Models of the Month" for sure.

Great looking tank, and I think that weathering just makes it spot on (realistic or not). Very inpsiring too, had to go and take my kit from dephts of my stash and also go through my MMI magazines as I remembered there was article of ersatz M-10 and already planning build of my own.
