Hi all
This is the Panzer 38(t) from Dragon Models with a few extras from the spares box. The figure is an old one from MiniArt.
A full article can be found in the April issue of SMMI.
Please feel free to comment.
Jacob

That's a really fine-looking 38t! The worn, weathered appearance is very realistic. It's hard to tell what the mechanic has in his hand. Almost looks like a cellphone and he's calling a tow company.

Great build but sorry I thought exactly the same thing. It looks like he is calling a tow on his cellphone. It's an old flip phone right?

Is he really just scratching his head with a large wrench or something???

HAHA!! You're all right, it really does look like he's holding a cell phone.
"Hallo der, please connect me to Big A's towing Company, 4. Abteilung, the Reichtag, Berlin..."
But it IS in fact a wrench.
Thanks for making me smile.

That is a great looking tank model! I really like all the heavy dirt and oil staining.

Great tank, The wreathing on this is great and I like that all the hatches are open.

Just saw this build in a model magazine at the news stand. Yeah, it's a wrench.

Awesome job, thank you for sharing it with us! I fell in love with the 38(t) playing World of Tanks and am definitely going to build one in the near future.

Nice work as always, Jacob. The oil can "makes" the whole thing.
