Panzer 1V, Ausf.J Late, Sd.Kf2.162/2

When i was younger i had a passion for modelling, i used to love building kits especially miliitary plane kits, espeicially Airfix kits, then when i was about 17 i kind of grew out of building those old 1/72 kits, and for many years i didn't bother with any kits at all.

But recently, i have sort of gone back to building the odd tank kit, larger scaled kits (1/35) its a great stress reliever, and gennerally helps me get over a hard weeks graft

Recently i have built the folllowing, the kit that bears this threads name, is a Dragon kit, 1/35 scale, i have attempted some crude weathering, and am trying to master/gain the weathering art.

Also, and my first of my new bread of kits, a Italeri 1/35, M8 Howitzer, self propelled gun, and a Willys Jeep.

The Panzer though is my latest, and i must admit it took a while to build, what with work and other stuff, indeed its not entirely finished yet, i still have the armoured webbing that guards the tank tracks, not got around to sorting this out for the tank, but the tank is painted and decaled, even a mild weathering has been completed using some artists pastels, and a pencil, the 'mud effect' (which is minimal) i have done using simple paints, no actual mud, something i wish to learn properly.

Take a look, i would appreciate some feedback
