Stunning work on such a small vehicle! The "wear & tear" is very realistic and the top looks great. Thanks for sharing!

Good job! Is that Tamiya or AFV Schwimmwagen?

Excellent finish, very well weathered. Only one thing I have to take you to task for, it has the unit markings of I SS Pz Korps clearly displyed, but WH (Heer) numberplates. Sorry!

Michael, that's a lovely build. Really effective weathering on it and nicely balanced. One minor thing which is easily rectified is you've got 1st SS Panzer Korps insignia with Wehrmacht plates. That's easily rectified by painting over the plates and adding the SS prefix on rather than change the unit insignia. Hope you don't mind me pointing it out as it shouted out to me but it really is a superb build.

A really nice build of the Tamiya kit. Personally, I wouldn't have weathered the spare tire so much as it shouldn't be as exposed to as much abuse as the ones on the ground, unless the mechanic is really anal about rotating them.
