Good work Rich.
I think, German grey was little bit of blue tone. Before you use another color for the color scheme, it will be good apply blue filter.
That is my opinion

The paint job does appear light in picture, it is darker in person. I'll have to look at it when I get home after work under more natural lighting.

Cheers,

While digging thru my stock of paints looking for an appropriate Dunkelbraun, what did I find? Two bottles of Model Master Enamels, Schwarzgrau & Schokoladenbraun. So a quick repaint of the grey and then the addition of the brown. The brown is very close in tone to the grey as described in many references and can be difficult to see where its been applied.

Quickly changing a shot to B&W helps show why it can so difficult to see the brown pattern in wartime photos. Add some dust and dirt to the vehicle, poor lighting, grainy film and lens filters to the mix and the two colours will blend even more.

Cheers,
Rich

I can't speak to how accurate it is but looks fine to me!

Making some progress. Painted and attached tools, put on the few decals and gave it a quick matte coat. Next will be starting the weathering process.

I'm glad you said you painted THEN attached the tools. I for the life of me, can't figure out how some folks can build up everything and then paint, hats off to them and you Rich!

Looking good!

Started weathering with washes and dot filters.

Next will be some dried mud on the lower hull and running gear.

Cheers,
Rich

Got the tracks on and weathered. Found a pic of the tank in Panzertruppen Vol 1 showing some stowage on the rear deck, so added a box (from the spares bin), tarp (epoxy putty rolled and folded) and fascine bundle (clipped from a straw whisk broom) that I could see in the pic.

With that, I think I can call this done for this campaign.

Cheers,
Rich
