heres some shots of my Tamiya panzer IV.

the first picture is an early stage of weathering.
and the other 3 pics are just about done.








still need to add dryed mud to the lower hull near where the road wheels go.
i have had a go at paint chipping,now i want to try and do some scratches.whats the best method on doing scratches?

many thanks

Very nice indeed! I like the wash you did on the hull. Would love to see the final pictures once the tracks have been added.

Looks good, I've been thinking about doing that model for awhile. I'll probally pick it up after I finish, or should say start my Tiger I.

Nicely done Karl. How did you do the chipping, was it just overpaint or wax? I note the Zimmerit on the hull, is this the Tamiya kit with the Eduard Zimmerit in?
I'm just in the process of completing the Academy version of the Ausf H, which is obviously from an old Tamiya die (also they do the Ausf J without armour), much cheaper if money is tight Jay! The only quibble I have is the green looks a bit lurid, but it may just be the photo.

Very nice, though the green does look a tad bit to bright, almost a neon sort of color, mainly on the hull, not so much the turret

I agree, the green is a little bright, other than that, great job.
