Best 234 I've seen today. What did you use for a base color Deano? Many thanks guys , Jeff I have AK track set paints but really like the Dust colour from the set . Its great for lightening dark yellow plus makes a good base coat if you plan to use some dark washes , which is whats happening here Deano |

Very nice Deano! Unless you want it for artistic/color variation, I would recommend against the red FE on the fender. Externally stowed FEs were typically hull color (pz gray or dark yellow) for the obvious reasons. While the Germans did use red FEs as well, those were typically only seen on internal mounts that weren't visible.

Thanks guys , your right Bill it wasnt common practice to have a bright red object attached to the hull . Will just go with artistic license Deano |

Deano, love this one, and all your 1/72 vehicles. Looking at your braille models one would think they are in 1/35. Top notch work mate.
