Gerry Pope
Gerry modeled Dragon's 1/35 scale Panzer IV Ausf J SdKfz 162/2 by adding rear-fender springs made from stretched sprue, a tow cable made from speaker wire, and other scratchbuilt details. A motor tool replicated weld beads throughout. Gerry airbrushed Polly Scale acrylic colors, applied a wash of black ink, and weathered with pastel chalk. The kit took him 20 hours to complete.
