My latest project, a great Dragon kit of early JagdPanther with zimmerit. Great details and putting it together was a relaxing process. I used new AK Interactive colors for paint job, and I am greatly satisfied with the result. Painting has never been easier, and the colors are accurate. For weathering i tried a lot of new techniques to make it look older, since i like my models rusty and muddy. I am still learning and i am aware this can me much better, i am satisfied with the result. Here are some photos, and sorry about the white balance, i made them in rush...
You have made a Very nice Jagdpanther, the colors are very good, and the wheatering is perhaps a bit overdone for the tracks for my taste, but the rest is just perfect.
Thank you for sharing.

Looks real good! On the left side exhaust pipe on the rear, only the center one should be rusty. The pipes on either side are air intakes and would be the same as the rest of the hull.
Time is a great teacher. Unfortunately, it kills all it's students.
Hi Stephan... Very nice JP you got there ..Great job on the chipping and the mud... I did notice two small points ...The first is the sides of the inside roadwheels rub up against the teeth of the tracks and wore off any mud and even paint so they should be down to the metal.. The other is the two smaller exhaust pipes were not exhaust pipes but air intakes and did not rust like the larger pipes. They should be painted dark yellow . These points in no way take away from your great looking model and are meant just to let you know ...
Congrats on a great model.

Looks very good - I have just finished one of those myself. A suggestion - all of the pins which retained the spare track links were attached to the vehicle by short lengths of chain, as were the lids either end of the spare aerial container on the side of the hull, where the chains were attached to the tube.
