this started out as a weekend build but me being me still not finished after a month :-) ! well had some problems painting the turret to cut a long story short had to do it 3 times in all .
Anyway kits standard motor holes are filled in, added weldbeads along the hull and turret
and used some tracks from one of my wespe kits
theyu were dodgy molded so put them to good use
replaced some of the tools from the Tamiya Pz4 set not accurate but better than the 32 year old efforts that come with the kit. I'm hoping to finish it this week once I pick up a metal barrel for it this weekend. I also used a more modern mg 34 barrel cut down, got some jerry cans and stuff to add with a figure if I can be bothered.
painted in lifecolours panzer grey decals by Tamiya the Div symbols were painted on using eduards mask set and it's also my 1st attempt using mig pigments. It's also the 1st serious attempt at trying washes in areas this was made by using both sepia and burnt umder printers inks by Newton &Winsor.

Nice one Davy! There's very little there one can criticize, but since this is the Rivet Review forum, one could suggest a few more scratches etc.? Really excellent finish though, looks good!
