Hi folks,
I'd like to share a WIP - Dragon's Panzer IV ausf. G. This has languished in my stash for a year after I messed up the running gear and the rear muffler. Anyway, I decided to dust her off and finish the build process. I wanted to do a vehicle in dunkelgelb serving in greece but I lost the appropriate parts for the smoke grenade launchers. Got stuck with a LAH vehicle instead. Have finished adding snow on the running gear. Would appreciate any constructive feedback you might give. Thanks for looking!

I think it's looking good, but I'm a newb. I like the execution on the white wash. Which kit is it?

Personally, I think that's a very realistic rather than 'artistic' winter camo finish - well done Nigel!

Very, very nicely done. I like the counter shading on the edges and the staining around the vehicle. Excellent finishing and weathering and just the right amount of snow. Wonderful job Nigel.

Thanks Phil, Gary and Matthew! Really appreciate it
@Phil - this is Dragon's Panzer IV ausf. G in Kharkov kit #6363. It's a pretty good kit with quite a few options.
