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

It sounds like most of us on this thread have the same history...

I have also started after a long pause from the cement

We also share the same fad, WWII Axis equipment

I enjoy more along the lines of artillery pieces following my young heritage

The tanks does look good though mate

I look forward to sharing my howitzers with the forum soon

Thank you, all of you.

I have three projects on the go, a German Tank crew set, waiting for the paint i need to arrive.

An Opel Blitz truck, 1/35 scale again. And i also have a somewhat complicated airfix kit, a 1/35 British Challenger tank.

I keep meaning to start the Blitz kit, i have had a week of work, back tommorrow, and i still havn't started the Blitz kit.
