Hi all,


This project is about a Panzer IV, Afrika Korps. It is a Dragon kit with many details: engine and compartment set from Verlinden Productions with additional scratch-built parts, Model Kasten tracks, gun from Jordi Rubio, some etched details and improvements, additions from spares box. Humbrol enamels.

Man!! That is great! I have to ask, what colors did you use? I haven't strayed into Humbrol, yet. But, this makes me seriously reconsider it! Did you replace the antennae? From the photos I've seen(I have about 4 gigs on the IV), the oob box antennae is correct. I thought it was too thick, for years. However, I can't dispute the photos.

Great work! The thing I see is everything looks very worn except the decals, especially the red "8". Maybe it can be damaged or faded some. The engine and tools are nice

Hi Matt, I appreciate your feedback. I really like the Humbrol paints. The pigment the paint has good granulation, which gives good coverage.

Well, the base color that I have used is HU94 Matt Brown Yellow. After, I started the application of filters: White, Desert Yellow, Dark Yellow...

Can you understand me? Sorry, my english is terrible

Ok Matt, but remember, the final effect was achieved with filters, washed and dry brush
