Hola all,
I was digging through some old pictures and found these:


Its the DML Hetzer/ Flampanzer kit, the tracks are fruilmodelismo metal tracks. Ohter then that its built out of the box. When I look at it now, after I found this forum and gotten more interested in Armor again, I can see where improvements have been made. This model is over dry brushed (to my eye anyway) and its brush painted, was too lazy to bust the air brush out (still am acctually ) Painted in Apple Barrel acrylics, and oil washes used.
Please feel free to comment!

Anders, you are probably right about the over dry-brushing, but I have to tell you, if I could brush paint like that, I would probably leave the air-brush alone too. Very nice hand work on a difficult camo scheme.

Thanks guys, I agree the track is a tad long, specially in the back where it sags like crazy. This was my 2nd tank after a jagdpanther that I did, I think I built this one in '99 or maybe 2000. Used to have it in a diorama, named Hetzer on the move, and had a couple of figures sitting on the tank and a few walking. When I moved, I dont remember what happened to the base, but I sure cant find it :-)
