Panzer IV G in the Eastern Front 1943

[:D] Hello friends:

Finally here is my last work.

Panzer Ausf G of Gunze Sangyo 1/35

(Note: I will repair the left track because it moved and I saw this after the photo, no problem.)

To the mid of 1943 some vehicles presented an unusual weathering with rust and oxide in some areas (light, mid and strong) with light mud to its pass by some places as (on the way, route, highways and towns). For this reason, not was adding many mud, this vehicle represent his condition in a cold place without snow. I hope you like it.

Regards,
Rodolfo

Well I sure like it. Looks nice overall but I like the way the dirt on the side of the hull turned out. May I suggest the dirt on the bogies looks a little even being on the lower portions of the wheels.

Are the side armor plastic or PE? And a question that is not meant to critisize in any way because i don’t know… Would the side skirts be bowed like that?

I have to say, the painting and weathering are first-rate! It’s really realistic–beautifully done!

I too noticed the curvature of the side skirts however–are they thin plastic? Did they get crazed by enamel paints maybe?

Hi Rodolvo,

I agree with Doug for the weathering if first rate. I myself like the dry mud on them lower hull. Good work.

You may also need to soften up the old Tamiya decals before start weathering them. Those old decals are kinna thick. You may need to soften the decal a lot. The other way around will be to trim the excest decal film.

Very nicely done. Weathering is exceptional. Yes, please inform us on the schurzen.

I love the weathering!!![^] great work!
