Re: Rusty and dusty.
Wonderful. Love that it doesn't look like it just rolled off the factory floor.
1) Your decals aren't realistic. DAK tanks had unique markings.
2) For the track and road wheels, think "wet clotted sand".
3) Commander? Or is he buttoned up.
4) Maybe some stowage?????
Here's my DAK Panzer 3. Next stop Tobruk

Re: Rusty and dusty.
Good Morning,
All the Dak Armor is really Cool! Looks used and abused as it should from Hard Campaigning. ( I'm one of those 'Fresh from the Depot' Armor Guys but that is OK. Plenty of Room for everyone in the Hobby ;0) My basic detailing suggestion for everyone who builds from the HL Versions of these Tanks is take a little time and get rid of the Headlight FrogEyes ( Cut\ Sand and Cap them with a Blackout Cover or if the tank is early War, use some replacement full lens headlights ) Following along!!
regards,
Painless

Re: Rusty and dusty.
Looks pretty cool to me. But change the number on the turret. It is the Heng Long model number, then it would look even better. As for the tracks. I have a Laissez fair attitude to them. Just spray matt black, and drive the heck oot of it.
It’s a tank. Don’t over complicate things. They are going to get shit up anyway.
