Another fantastic tutorial. The written and pictured word as one. Very helpful, Mr. Max. Beautiful work.

Bravo on both the look of the tools and the placement--just stuffed in higgldy-piggldy. What a small but effective touch of realism. :clap:

MaxMekker,

Another amazing model! Love the look of that camo, and the detail truly puts it over the top! Top notch as always! :thumbup: :clap:

Cheers,
Eric.

So today i repainted the rear plate for my JP. From chipped Dunkel Gelb, to 3 tone to match the rest of the tank.
With these paints we have now its just keep going. They dry so fast , and i like to go back and forth, modulating and taking care of overspray.
The jack and primer red parts needs a little more work( weathering) the stovage tube got a round of chipping and the hit marks got some paint to.

Hope you like it :thumbup:

Very realistic in every way! Especially love the dent in the stowage tube. Nice touch.

I totally agree with Jim! I love the minor variations in the surfaces, it truly looks like a real metal hull! :crazy: The chipped insignia and corners and edges take it to the extreme in terms of realism! So very nice! :thumbup:

Cheers,
Eric.

Yes, indeed, it looks like real metal! I see two little interesting touches that make me feel like I'm not a complete bozo: 1) the jack in Dunkelgelb and 2) the tow cleats and shackles in red primer. I did both on a Jagdpanther, thinking that these details would suggest the late 1944 rush to get equipment replaced. Of course, my Jagdpanther is otherwise a far-far cry from Maxmekker's superior work.
