Here's a different style of camoflouge I'm considering. Kind of a blend of the traditional Panzer grey and dunkelgelb

I don't know how I missed this but I'm sure glad I come across it now, it's an amazing little tank, I love it (I think it's the rivets that do it for me ;D )!
And I love what you have done/are doing with it too - exceptional quality and attention to detail. :thumbup:

Started to paint the detail bits. I wanted to paint the exhaust system with a metal based paint and I added some baking soda and bits of sand to create the dimpled imperfections on the muffler. ( Thanks mr Herman) for the tip. Image after 24 hours once it's dry I'll apply the oxidizer so the rust comes through. I also seperated the upper hull to show how the road wheels, tracks and idlers line up.Image

Cheers
