Exceptional work! And thank you for sharing the build tips!
Regarding the figure ... very nicely painted as well, but I agree that he doesn't seem to fit this particular setting — just too relaxed looking ... I guess.

Neatly done, George. I like the the subtle weathering. I find your panzergrau quite convincing. As already stated, the figure doesn't really match. Well done and congrats.

Nice build of a vehicle we don't see very often.

I agree. I also like the tip with the mirror, I'd been struggling with that type of detail recently, so will give it a go.

Tried the mirror tip. Works. I polished some lead foil with 600 through 4000 grit paper using a small block. I followed that with mild polishing compound. Cut out the discs with a hole punch and used a piece of sprue tipped with BluTac to place it. The discs are tender. THey will wrinkle and scar easily. I expect the the lead will gray out a little over time.
I don't believe the German motorized units used the Balken Cross on the soft skinned vehicles. During the Polish campaign the white cross was used on some recon vehicles.
Nice job though. I'm not a heavy weathering guy but maybe a little more dust on the lower chassis and wheels along with the interior. Nice job of getting the warp out of the body.
