It's been a while since I've built an armor model, but I won this kit at a raffle so I decided to build it. It's an old kit from the 1990's, so not as detailed as the current state of the art. I added selected parts from the Eduard PE detail set along with some scratch built items (bolt heads, rivets, tow cable, hinges, etc.) to bring it up to snuff. The main build is complete and I've primed it with Mr. Primer Surfacer, which does a decent job with priming metal as well as plastic. Main painting is about to commence.

I'm in as well 👍 It's an old ish, but still a lovely kit. Curious to see what you make out of it… surely something amazing 🙂

Thanks James. Much appreciated. I've added a few more photos showing the tank after adding the dots to the camo scheme and then after decals and some detail painting and chipping. Progress continues. Thanks for looking. Comments and critiques are more than welcome.

Panzer 631 is now complete. Weathering consisted of oil washes, colored pencils, sponge chipping and detail chipping using acrylics. I'm happy with the way this one turned out, even though it's an older kit. Thanks for stopping by. Comments and critiques are more than welcome.

Great work and ambiance photos 👍 as expected.
The only thing that strike me and imho I would point out, (don't know if it's finished?) it's the strange sagging on the tracks 🤔

Very nicely done mate, the first 2 shots (with the backdrop) in particular look fantastic!👍
