Nice build Al, looks really good, subtle yet realistic. Good work all round.

At first I thought " a nice build, but nothing exceptional ".... but the more I look at it, the more I like it as subtle details become more apparent. Goes to show that first impressions aren't always right!


I still think either a better camera or taking more time will give much clearer photo's Alan. I can't shake the notion that we're missing a lot of the good stuff atm!

Alan, this is one of your best models, superbly done mate. Weathering is subtle and effective, I love it.


Regarding Panzer numbers, I looked the system up when I built my Tiger. A few links that may help to decipher the codes used:
