Here is my Pz. I Ambulance version from MasterBox for the campaign. It will take place on a diorama with the figures I've posted last week.
I didn't matt coated it yet. I don't know why it happened, the silvering of the decals made me unhappy
As usual any comment is welcome..

Nice little tank wampum!
I like the rusty look it has and the silvering is hardly visible on the photos so I think you sholdn't be that unhappy
Good work mate!

Cheers,
Pedro

That rust looks just perfect. Feel the urge for my tetanus shots just looking at it. Is it just a reddish brown that you've sprayed on, or is it a particular rust-finish paint?

Hey

I think the rust is a bit overdone if you would go for a realistic look.....

but hell, who cares, it looks awesome! :-)

Thanks guys.
I agree with Martin, the rust is overdone. Simply I couldn't stop putting on the rust effect.

It is just pastel chalks David, nothing more.

I agree with what the others said, to much rust.
But it looks cool Very cool..

I would like to see further progress of it.

Great looking kit How was it to build? Also does it come with an interior? As far as the decals go....... Sometimes they will silver even over a coat of gloss I wonder if by spraying some gloss on the kit now,waiting for it to cure up for a few days,then spraying a matte coat again will take care of the "silvering" problem?

Alguhan...
Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished Dio...As far as the rust goes, I think it looks good...tanks do rust, and towards the end of the campaign the Germans couldn't afford to re-paint the equiment, so I think that it would be o.k. to represent the tank in this condition...keep up the good work!

Alguhan, how do you apply the pastel chalk to the model? And doesn't it come off after a while?

hi bro..nice built, nice paint and great weathering. I think you can hide the silvering decal with a jerry can or something else..maybe some oil stains and paint abrasion can be weathering step 2

Great result on the kit as I know it's a one to build!!!
Fitting of it is (censured). What was your impression of the kit? 'nough said about the rust, but I agree on it.
Looking forward to the figures!

Hi guys,
Thank you very much for your nice comments.

Chad,
It was a nice kit to build, I had no problems till the decals. It doesn't come with interior details.

David,
I apply the pastel chalk dust with a soft paint brush. Then I gently blow away the excess. It is true that it comes off after a while but if you don't touch it so much and if you give it a thin layer of matt varnish you can protect the dust.

Engin,
Nice idea bro. Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

Paul,
As I said, it was an easy to assembly kit. I had no problems. The separate tracks fitted easily, too. I can't compare this kit with the last generation kits of Tamiya or DML which are excellent but this kit was not bad.

Cheers
Alguhan

You missed one small mold line on the shovel handle. I've been tempted to get one of these kits myself. Would you recommend it?

Hey Doc,

You can tone down the rust alot by giving the model a spray of dull coat.

Other than the rust - looks nice.

Yes, I recommend this kit, especially for the figures of it.
