Rodolfo Torres Vazquez Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello friends! This is the Panzer IV Ausf.G from Dragon Models (Smart Kit), in 1/35th scale. It was finished as a tank of the 6./ Panzer, Regiment 3, 2nd. Panzer Division, Kursk 1943. I hope you like it. Regards! Rodolfo 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CAT]CplSlade Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The technique is very good and the model looks great, but I have to say I don't think a vehicle produced only about two months before Kursk would be as weathered as this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodolfo Torres Vazquez Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Thanks for your kind comments friends!. When in Kursk there was rain, mud, puddles, of course, it is possible to dirty the tank even before 1 month, the Russian steppe was heavy, besides the weathering in this Panzer really is moderate. I can't imagine a tank going into a big puddle with mud and coming out clean and the rains falling without dragging the dust adhering to it. Regards!

Rodolfo I'm talking about the rust and chipping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards! Rodolfo Well, ultimately it is your kit and you can build it as you want, but you might need to study the effects of weather on vehicles in the short and long term. At the time of Kursk they were only experiencing the normal summer rains. I'm sure Mig Jimenez would appreciate your style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodolfo Torres Vazquez Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 @[CAT]CplSlade - Sure, I have seen photos of the 6. / Panzer and they show this type of wear, the photo above does not show the exhaust in pristine form, the sideskirts shown scratches too; if you have the book Operation Citadel - Vol. 2 The North you can see more pics with great quality. @ harv - Thanks for your kind comments!
