Thanks for the comments guys,i kinda threw everything ive learnt and many of your very own tips and ideas ive seen on the web sites to build this.

Tiggr...I will be honest i have no real plan when doing camo,i tend to get the 3 colours and go with the how would i paint this if i had to hide it technique.Maybe the eastern front creeps in from a relative i had that was there.

Tom....the wheels are the Henntec ones with the resin centres.

The wagon is very nice, the camo is very well done, but there are areas for improvement (IMHO):

Picture #1 & #2
Image

Image

Where zimmerit is not the hull surface is too smooth, watching the tank you know it's plastic (1)

Picture #3
Image

The clauses marked with (2) are too clean, too untouched.

The clauses marked with (3) are too new and plasticky.

Beautiful carrellaggio, deserves metal tracks (the original Tamiya seem not it?) and more smeared

Kind regards

Theres always something that needs attention.

The inner wheels will pick up some natural markings when it sees some real mud,theres a bit more of the mud effect to go.As it's hard to remove i'm building it up slowly and the rear of the turret bin is waiting for some number stencils before it's dirtied up.

The tracks are metal already.

Thanks for commenting Fabio :thumbup:

Del I'm always my toughest critic. I own about 15 tanks that have been upgraded and redone a few times. I think it looks very nice! All the little details will come to you as you enjoy the tankImage

You have mastered many aspects of the skirts and weathering techniques I've still got to practice to get to your levelImage

Superb result Mr Del............for me, just the right balance.
The road wheel inners and other exposed areas will soon pick up natural texture.
Nice Tiger Sir
