I am planing to make it for my Panzer IV F2. After surfing the net, looking in the photos I can't find a good scene. Could you give some advice? And what do you use for making sand? Thanks in advance.

Could you be more specific?

Is it going to be a dio with some action - movement, soldiers running next to it?

Or a more relaxed; changing tracks, refuelling, cleaning the barrel, consulting the map?

Or a "defensive" dio; digged in the sand waiting for some sorry prey?

Hm... my model is a little bit glosssy so I think it would be a good idea to show that it moves from water. Talking about soldiers I haven't any yet. Actually I am very confused about dio.

As ne is Vilniaus, o is Siauliu. Pats perku Zaislu Planetoj (Airfix), Norfa XXL (Revell) arba Limpompo (Zvezda, Heller).

Oh and could you give some links where I could find photos shot in North Africa (perhaps with some Panzer IVs) in WWII. Thank you.
