Hi all,

This is my latest built from Dragon.It is a Panzerkampfwagen IV ausf H that was served in the Eastern Front in 1944. I only used acrylics in this built, no enamels, pigments or oils. Hope you like it.

All the best,

Muzaffer

Very nicely done...excellent weathering, just one thing, does the turret armour foul that big box with the helmets on it because, if it does, the crew would not have it there, at least if there was a possibility of action.

You're right but the tank is in parking position, when it is time to take action they will remove them

I like it a lot very nice.the only thing that looks odd is the spare road wheel at the front needs to be tied down or something.

Cheers

The tracks on the front holds the tire in place but you're right I should have tied it up some what

No, I even didn't use any dust of pigments. I used plaster, acrylic gel, static grass and various acrylic earth tones to create the mud. The dust and dirt on the tank is all washes of acrylic paint.

very nice work. However the spare road wheel's position seems not realistic: right in front of the drivers vision block. The driver already has a limited view when driving with closed hatch, so he certainly would not like to have this view reduced by a spare road wheel right in front of him

That's a tremendous piece of armour and the paint and weathering job is top class.
