Great chipping effects on this hunk of metal 🙂 Nice work on the tracks too

The Blytonian
Nice. Trumpeter's KV-1's are nice kits too IMO. Whose 4BO did you use? (brand/type e.g. Vallejo Model Air/Acrylic, AK Real Color/Lacquer?)

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work and restrained weathering.

Colleagues, thank you for your feedback!

Thank you for your feedback! The model was painted with Tamiya, unfortunately I can't tell you the color number now, but the shade was given with a homemade light green filter.

I like this one, especially the work on the tracks.

Great work as usual 👍 The weathering and clean and shine interior on the road whells just wonderfull stuff...
I've also done a Panzer Regiment 8, Panzer II, but in North Afrika. Realy like that Bull Stencil.
Any issues with the kit?

Kristjan Lind
Hey, Rui! Thanks!
About the kit: Getting the lower hull together was somewhat tricky and needed care, patience and attention.
The brackets that support the idler tensioning mechanism on the rear of the hull were wrong for
Ausf.B, and needed to be replaced. And I replaced the commanders cupola with a Dragon one too, because Tristar didn't have any interior details on theirs. Otherwise it's a great kit and a quite fun to build.
You can see the building of it here: britmodeller.com/for..547-panzer-iv-ausfb/

Beautiful job!

Excellent work!

Pepe
Great!!!!

Nice build - I like the figs and the fact that you can see the interior.

Markus Antonius
Great realistic weathering! Finally, a Tank thats just DIRTY, not aged for centuries with excessive paint chipping.

I agree with everyone above. Superb.

Paul Eden
Excellent work, really beautiful

Väga mõnus mudel, ostsid mehed välismaalt või? Kuna eestis ei ole leidnud sarnaseid

Excellent build Kristjan. As others commented; restrained and not over done. Thank you for sharing, it's inspirational.

I already have so many work-in-progress stuff going on, but I need to finish this smaller project to get to try out making custom railings with wire and styrene, instead of doing that on that other heavy cruiser build from before with the USS Guam. Re. the Guam kit, to try re-work all that photo etch railings was a big mistake, just too much work and probably much harder to align than individual pins togehter with wiring for the deck railing.

The 3d printed turrets w. barrels really look nice, however I also have metal barrels in stock. I will try drilling out just a couple of mm's deeper and see if that works out, if it fails I will have to cut off the resin barrels and add the metal barrels. If I end up using the metal barrels, I must remember to make a "jig" to get the barrel alignment as good as possible without the barrels looking weird "not looking straight".

Hmm, maybe the ship ought to be less angled in the photo there? Not parallel with the "white" edges, but not as angled as this I think. Thinking about this now, I think an "angled" ship is all wrong with the mood of the still water, and I will straighten the model a little to avoid the obvious diagonal angle of the hull there in photo #01.

Not sure if I have larger "isopor" material around, will have to look. I just thought, this might work ok, to draw attention to the model itself, and not end up with a large ocean surface acting as a frame.

A photographer once wrote: "Frame what you love" I think what he meant was, to not add other things into the frame other than the stuff you like/love. A "closer framing" I think is also more "intimate and works better, and also makes the model seem taller as opposed to flat.

Hm, I forgot to think about maaaybe having additional models in the ocean. I do have a tug boat of the same era, I could use that. 🙂

Interesting, I'll stick with it.

I will definitely watch this talent-show!

Good work with all the tiles and panel lines. I'm not patient enough to do that!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Greta subject and marvelous work!

Neuling
I agree with Roland.

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work. I have one in the stash and hopes that it comes half as nice as yours.

Jan-Erik Palmgren
Thank you. Good to hear. Because I always look back my work and think of what I could have done better.
Hurricane was very pleasant to work with. Parts were fitting nicely together and details were excellent. So good kit to build.
