Antonio
I love the great job you have done on that old kit You may want to darken up the tow cable Looks a little too new to me

Question on the vehicle commander Weren't the uniforms on SP guns crewmen usually field gray instead of black?

Looking good. I like the composition on the dio. What changes did you make? I would definitely saw you would want to scuff up the TC ring and the upper area of the Elefant for that matter. Mainly the ring is what jumps out at me. It should blend in and not leave the whole thing looking toyish. I wish I didn't sound so critical. To me, that one thing lowers the standard on such a beautiful paint scheme, finish, setting, dio, everything. To me the excellent weathering you did to the sides and lower hull should be applied to the top. Crews walk on top, scrape paint, bang things up. However I can't give enough praise for your base. The rock is perfect, the ground is beautiful, well thought out. You definitely have a serious contender in a show.

Ciao Antonio,
Excellent!! I like the tone of the camo and the weathering is superb! I like to beat mine up a little bit more, but it looks great!
ciao for now
