THat's how it looks so far for the moment. Planning to airbrush the camo on and was thinking of making it looked like it just went for a total overhaul at a field repair facility and having new set tracks and a new layer of paint. I'm not sure if that kind of job actually happened but I'm intending to finish this before uni starts for me.

Yes I know that the glaring error is the zim pattern. My bad. Anyway the skirts are from Eduard and its meant for Dragon kit and I made some dents on it.The tracks are Panther G's. Managed to force it in somehow.

Anyway, I'm also intending to wrap the barrel and abit of the front glacis with camo netting and slot some cut branches to cover most of the front and abit of the sides.

The part that I don't like for the moment is that the tracks are too shiny. Any way to tone it down with any thing that's in the house? Will dusting it with crushed pencil lead help?
