2014 Completed works Part 2- Jagdpanzer IV


Another ancient DML WIP that was sitting on the shelf for a long time. Painted as a generic vehicle in autumn 1944. It was an attempt at the disc camouflage featured by some German tanks during this period of WW2 and was achieved by pasting hundreds of little disc stickers over the model. It was something which I had promised myself to attempt many years ago and I am glad I finally did it.

The model was predominantly finished with Mig products, from the German late war camouflage set to weathering washes.

2014 marked my "serious" attempt to get back into the hobby. Did not build much due to work but managed to splash some paints on a couple of WIPs. 

My first posting of this old DML offering was in March 2011. Had grand plans to scratch build the fighting compartment, to that effect, I purchased a resin 155mm gun in preparation for the scratchbuild. Perhaps the resin kit will see its use in the DML smart kit version...

The model was finished as a vehicle participating in Fall Blau. Used the excellent washes from Mig to simulate the dustiness of the operation theatre.
