this is Trumpeter's Hotchkiss, 7.5cm auf Geschutzwagen 39H built oob the kit wasnt bad just a couple of small things like the tracks being too long so i had to remove a couple of links and a bit of jimmying of the fighting compartment here and there but it was overall a fun build and i do love the subject so there it is,, this model could use some stowage i will probably add some down the line but for now it looks good on the shelf. thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

Excellent camo and weathering Ron. Both are perfect in my books. Good luck in the competition.

Nice one Ron, very nice indeed. Can I ask, what do you use for your dark yellow, and highlights? I like the way yours comes out, especially on that Sturmtiger you did.

Good work I like the worn and weathered look - very subtle. Nice camera work too.

thanks very much guys i appreciate the comments, Tim the colour i use for the dark yellow is a mix i usually just eyeball but basically it is desert tan then lightened a tad with white and a touch of amber.

the paint i used is mm acrylic in this case.
