0Hi,
Congratulations.. great little diorama.. all three elements superbly done.
All the best, Kip.

Very well executed. Nice composition. The black panzer uniforms make a nice contrast to the "yellow" vehicle

Thank you for the positive input fellas! Have a safe and Happy Holidays! everyone

JOB WELL DONE !

Top-notch effort all around!! Thanks for sharing!

Spectacular job. Thanks for sharing

Top-notch work. All features compliment each other and work well. I agree that the uniforms make a great play against the vehicle. Scenery - love it!

Great build and finish. Small point, but it looks as though the stowed gear and tarp are fouling the radio man's hatch, which would trap him inside the vehicle in an emergency. It's the louvered panel on the left directly aft of the turret. The crewman's boots are resting on the front of it.

Great observation Gerald, I've seen a photo, along with some discussion that the front drivetrain hatch may also serve as a emergency (tight fit) access point for the driver as well. can anyone confirm this? Thanks for your comments.

Yes, in theory, each man had a hatch. In a burning vehicle, nobody wants to be the second guy out of a hatch. The radio man's hatch is almost never seen open, outside of parade photos (and many modelers don't even realize it's there), but it was always kept clear. Interestingly, the flat area just aft of it was usually used for stowage, which at least partially blocked the view from his rear vision port. Apparently, his job of keeping an eye on the rear of the vehicle was not seen as critical.
