Hi All.

I want to present you my first finished model.
It's Revell's 1/72 TPz 1 Fuchs A4 ambulance.
I've made it about a half year ago and so far it's my only completed one.











Thank you for watching.
Any comments will be very welcomed.

I initially had to look twice when you said it is a 1/76 Fuchs. For a first model that is a really great build and as you go further in the hobby and start to practice with weahering and the such your models will be likely to go from strength to strength. I look forward to seeing your second one and those in the future.

'GREAT JOB'

That's a good job for the first model. But I think it need some wash and dry-brtush to bring out the nice details.
Congs !

Good looking Fuchs you've done here. I particuliarly like the steered wheels. This gives a realistic look to your model.

One point though, I think your green is too light. You could give it another coat with a darker shade.

Try to weather it too, in order to remove the glossy look. But it could come from the light conditions when you shot the pics.

Congrats

My second finished (because I have a couple of unfinished) model will be 1/35 Italeri Humvee, that you can see here. But this build it's not going so good like Fuchs.

I know that this will be good for this model, but I leave it as is in remembrance.
I try weathering techniques on Humvee.

That glossy look comes from Revell's "matt" lacquer whitch in fact appears semi-gloss.
