Here is a look at my latest kit I've completed this is the dragon Jagdpanzer IV 1/35 kit painted in a late war camouflaged scheme the inspiration for this piece is that late war they didn't have enough paint so they would paint patterns on the red oxide primer.

Really nice JP Nick ! I like the textured metal technique. How did you do it ? Pretty good camo also.
Thanks for sharing !

The JP-IV is really well done and your choice of colors fits well with the time frame mentioned. But, in the one photo from behind the crewman, it looks like he's wearing white gloves?

I agree with the comments above, the model looks very realistic and well weathered.

The figure is probably the weakest part of the model, I don't really like the white gloves and he is a little too shiny for me !

Overall the model looks great, well done

Thanks everyone for the supportive comments, and yes the figure is rather weak because I'm a noon at figure painting and couldn't get the glossy shine from the washes to to dull out with the matte coat I had on me, but I'm a little confused aren't the gloves supposed to be white ?
