Very nice work on the painting and markings

Thanks guys. Just waiting to get some bench time. Alot of weathering here to do. It's actually quite pretty the way it looks now. But you know how it is.

Thanks, Dan and jackwagon. Hey that sounds like a childrens book! ;D

I'm not tight Dicky, you come on over to my place and I'll share my Scotch. All you have to do is cross an ocean. Surely you can manage that for a free drink of Scotch.

This is where I am at the moment. I've done some chipping and then went over that with a rust colour. This is meant to be an abandoned tank, therefore the areas worn down to the bare metal had some time to rust. Looks like I have more to do. Then on to gettin dirty. Yaaaaa dirty!.

Looking really good man. But I know you are planning to make it from the beginning of the war and if I'm not mistaken there should be additional markings. In white or yellow (don't recall right now) cross and unit markings.

Thanks Spud.

Luhasz, you probably know more about this than I do. I really don't know what markings a Kleine used in earlier in Poland should have. Unfortunately, the instructions do not have a time and place for each decal selection. You can build this kit as an Antenna version (which I have done), an add on armour version and a tropical version. The decal sheet has alot of little yellow markings but they only show a yellow cross on the back of the tropical version.

Does anyone else happen to have more info on this?

Hi,
Here are some of the markings that I meant. But I'm not sure on what vehicles the were used along with the crosses.

Thanks Biskup, the kit comes with the yellow markings but does not show what to do with them. Only a yellow cross on the back of the tropical version.

Great job on the chipping. The rusting also looks very convincing.

Thanks Rob. Ya, one of these would look pretty cool all burnt and rusted. I had different plans for this one.
