Your Birthday? April 5?
Beautiful Jagdpanzer Brian, absolutely wonderful. It looks so abused, it looks like it's just come through a hedge backwards.. I love it. I won't comment on the tracks and mud/dirt, as you are going to put in on a dio and then it will probably all gell together. Just two things I see which may well be the picture rather than the model, the Saukopf seems a bit at an angle, and the spare tracks on the back look a touch to bright red.
It's very easy to get scratching very very wrong, but you have pulled it of to a tee.
Bravo.
Cheers

Never in the field of scale modelling was so much owed by so many to so few.

Thanks henk,
Nope, my birhtday is not 4/05, but good guess. The Saukopf is pointed off to the left-for the future dio-so that makes it look "off", and the color of the tracks is from the camera, they are actually a bit darker.
Thanks to you too Karl!! I have seen the other entries, there is some stiff competition out there!

Hey Ron,
The chipping is easy, I use a small brush, with dark gray paint. I just "dot" the chips on. I also use a no. 2 pencil to apply lighter chips and scratches.
As far as my birthday, nope, it's not 4/3

Very nice, i like the scratches you made on it as well.
I havent yet tried this myself but i hear using a stiff brush and flicking the mud onto the sides of the vehicle will give it a more realistic look in terms of mud splatter.

Ok, here's a hint, the answer is in photo 5, and it's not my full birthday. Come on, you can do it.

Overall it looks great Brian, Very nice job! I did notice one thing although it could be my eyes or the camera angles, but the commanders hatch i believe (Right side). It seems to have no weathering or damage on it.... it does not seem to match the rest of the tank. Other than that it looks awesome. Good luck in the Voting!

Thanks Herky,
It's weathered, the chips don't show up too good on the green and brown areas.

I always liked the Lang, and yours looks great with the choice of colors used.
You won't believe what I was thinking when I first saw the title of this thread! :-)
