Hi folks, this is an old Italeri Elefant kit 1/35 with Accurate Armour C032 Ferdinand large conversion resin set. Hand painted numbers and crosses.





















That's all...

great job weathering and chipping; very cool; I built the new Tamiya Elefant a few months ago and did much the same; good job on the tracks; don't look rusty (as they wouldn't with an operational vehicle)

Thanks for posting your pictures, Cesar! If I can offer this suggestion: all your hatch interiors should be painted the same as the exterior finish (dark yellow or dark grey). Only in very few instances have there been photos of German AFVs with the white/ivory hatches.

As you can see, it ruins the camouflage effect. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Brian.

I am also assembling an Elephant, but from Dragon. I like it, but I think the new tamiya is better. I'm doing some corrections.

Cheers
