Nice work, but in my opinion, he should have put the numbers over the sandelgeb not the white, but is just my opinion.

Thank you Byron for your comment. I agree that in general your comment is right, but in this very case I was working with a historical picture. IMHO brand new vehicles during winter time got the white paint before they were fielded.

I liked how you've explained on doing winter camo. maybe i'll get encouraged by that and try it on my panzer for workhorse campaign

Very nice model! I was going to gig you on not applying the markings to the base yellow coat but as noted, you have the picture to back up your work. Can't argue with that

Only thing that looks like was missed was the damaged left fender.

Great job on this one,

John

Thanks, it was the first (and till now the only) time I used the Hair Spray method. The important thing is to... start. It's fairly easy just remember to apply the protective coats.

Thanks, for the fender I would have to use another PE set which wasn't planned.

Well if it isn't yet another build from the 'Media Mogul' that is Pawel!

I can't go online or open a magazine (or sometimes even my e-mail) without seeing your work!

This was a nice build and a change from the usual pussy cats for you my friend, but approached and executed with your excellent blend of historical accuracy and artistic licence.

I think you did this build justice and while at the time I thought you may have been a bit heavy with the dark washes on upper surfaces, my experience of machinery working in peat with frequent rain while I was in Ireland shows that similar grime effects do build up so another accuracy point for you to mark up!
Still no figure though!

Congrats on a job well done,

James

Sorry for being a bit late with the answer.

Thanks for the kind words. I think the "media" time will be quickly finished as new builds... ehhh... what new builds? Life is too hard for now to model anything. All of my builds where born here on the big "A" and as I often told the blog and the build is getting better and better when people give you tips, good advices constructive critics etc.

"pussy cats"??!!! Well, I hope to see your medium "pussy cat" soon Mr LOL

Thanks about the input on the dirt. The next "white" Pz IV or III will be less dirty, at least a bit. Just to ttry something a bit different.

A real beauty Pawel. Nice article as well. Got to try this hairspray method for myself. The results look good, but I especially like the finish on the running gear and the spare tracks. I have this G kit as well, and all those extra tracks inspire me to make it and add some extra armor like this.

Thanks Frank. I'm very glad you like it. Even if it's a bit of pain to assembly I would strongly advise to use some AM shurtzen (or even plastic). It changes completely the look of the tank and it's worth the extra time, swear and tears LOL.
