1/16 Panzer IV

Thanks for positive feedback guys....really appreciate it.
I got the interior pretty much completed, so I started painting some of the exterior details. I got a paint resupply order scheduled to be delivered on Monday. Then I can start to get some color on it. I've got to make a decision on the camo scheme soon, this one is the current front runner. After that then paint and install the schurzen.
Thanks for looking everybody......

museum quality

I know it's intended as a compliment, but "museum quality" for an AFV if taken literally usually means either "painted in the wrong colours" or "in dire need of maintenance to keep it from rusting to pieces"

You are correct, but I'm equally sure that is not how it was intended.

It doesn't happen often, but I'm tongue tied!
How do you keep it from driving away when you're not looking?

I haven't put gas in it yet....

Having fun with my new airbrush, it took trying a couple different paint lines before I finally got to a point where I think I can use it with some success.
I'm trying to do some pre shading here on the base color before doing the camo scheme.
This is the first model I am airbrushing, everything before this was hand painted...

I got alot to learn still, but I'm having fun

Be brave, grasshopper, you have the eyes of the unwashed (me) upon you!

Having fun is what it's all about, you'll do a grand job going by what you've done so far

I gotten enough done that I think it's time for another update.
The camo is done, some weathering also. I'm having to fight the urge to weather away, I trying for a somewhat subtle look. Maybe I'll tie one hand behind my back.
I have most of the tools and accessories mounted, still have some more to do....gerry can, more track links, a couple of helmets, and a MP40.
Currently working on the brackets that hold the schurzen plates in place.
Thanks for looking guys.
