Thanks Portman.

Can't believe its been 2 weeks, but now seeing this coming together. Final parts were added and the inside masked ready for painting.

Next came the paint, decals and a very light dry brush. The kit supplies markings for vehicles in France, Greece and Russia, but i wanted to do one in the Polish campaign. Photo's are few and far between, so i made an assumption. I used the markings for a 1st Pz Div vehicle in France 1940 and simply switched the national markings for the French campign with decals from my /6 for the Polish campaign crosses.

And then a pin wash which gives a nice start for the dusty look i want.

Just got to get the tools wheels, tracks and other bits added and then the final dusting. Next pics should be the final ones.

Cheers carlos. The vehicle is now wrapped up and fitted to the base. Really pleased with how it came out. Just letting the base dry while i get the figures finished off.

I really dig that Dunkelgrau. Dark and dirty.

Thanks Torben. This is my 3rd Pz Grey build and i have found it rather easy to get a nice dusty look on them.

Looking great Bish. One thing you see a lot in photos from the Polish campaign, they would smear mud over the white crosses to cut down on the visibility of them.

Thanks Clint. Ye, i have seen that, as well as the crosses being painted yellow. But i just wanted to keep the white crosses on this one.
