This model is from AFV-Club and towed a 7.5cm Pak 40/L46 anti tank gun. It represents a vehicle of a heavy platoon of an anti tank company, PzGrenRgt.74, 19th Armoured Division somewhere at eastern front 1944. Later in 1944 this division was trapped in Hube-Kessel (as my references told me).
Have used an Eduard PE-Set for additional detailing. The front axle I've changed a bit in position so the wheels are not in straight forward position. Some more minor changes only (side hatches open f.e.). The model I have primed using white car-acrylic primer direct from aerosol can. After 24 hours it was coloured with Tamiya's german grey (XF63). After another 24hour drying time I have sprayed Tamiya's dark yellow (XF60) leaving some areas with the grey color slightly visible. Further 24 hours later I've sprayed the camouflage scheme using Tamiya's olive green (XF62).
Washing I've done in 2 steps. First a relatively intensive wash with burnt umbra, afterwards a 2nd soft wash with black oil paint, all colors diluted with turpentine.
Decals are from Archer range. Drybrushing and detail painting I've done the common way, finally some pastel chalks around the undercarriage - and that's it.
