Achtung Panzer!

I recently completed this Panzer IV Ausf J early production model for my late war German collection. A 1/72nd scale model from Dragon Models.
Completed using AK ackrylic paints and weathering pencils and Mig Ammo ackrylic washes and filters.

    That's a splendid addition to the knocked out Kraut tank collection...😉

      With my luck of late I should have just drilled a hole in it🙂

    Nicely done. Did you find any advantages of a detailed modellers kit compared to the ‘fast build’ stuff? I like that the models come with decals (why can’t fast build so that?) and have better tracks, but my inclination is always to fast build. I have a JS II and SU 152 ‘slow build’ kits in my box …. But they never make it to the top of the stash :-)

      It wasn't too bad a few bits that are a bit flimsy for use in games and a detail that isn't really needed but I gamely glued them on. Italeri do some quick builds with decals.

      Thank you Aly, the later shades on German AFVs are quite pretty.

    The camouflage scheme is so lovely it is almost a sin to see it blow up when it meets the opposition.

    Almost.

      I can take consolation that they are the bad guys at least.

    Nicely done. Hard to beat a Mark IV for looking business-like.

    Very nice work there Phil.... excellent weathering! The Schurzen skirts make it look a formidable beast.

      Thank you Paul. The workhorse of the Wehrmacht overshadowed by its more "glamorous" successors.

      Thank you. The cross is a reminder not to show your side to the enemy :~)
