Here's a P4 I've been working on lately. It's a '70's Italeri/Testors kit built OOTB. I've not yet put on the decals, dullcote, or finished weathering. It's a set of progress pics and I'd love to hear back on what you think. Let me know!

It's hand painted. I've got an airbrush, but I haven't really had time to get to know it.

So, every last stupid dot was painted by hand.

You did a fine job of an ambush scheme. I like the mud build up along the bottom and road wheels. When you say Ardennes, were you meaning Battle of Bulge time frame or early fall while the Germans were in full retreat setting up for the Huertegen Forest ? Paint scheme is perfect for early-mid fall but BofB would have been white coated for snow

Impressive job on the ambush camo. All the hard work painting paid off in the final outcome.

Blaster,
based on what you've said... Looks like I'm forced to say "prep for hurtgen." #:-)
I'm working on a scene where a US Bazooka team is ambushing the tank. It'll be a while before it's done, but it's progressing.
