I'm cooking away on a tank model this week. Seeing builds like this is inspirational, and I can spend a bunch of time looking at the techniques you used. Thanks for posting!

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Very pleasing to the eye, I like the non-uniformity of the rust on the wheels - it contrasts well with the paint job, yet at the same time is congruous with the tank as a whole. Very nice.

Nice work.  The streaking effects are great.

Great looking build there Tojo, that's a nice looking interior. Is that all kit or is there some AM.

Nice one Tojo,

The kit has been in the stash for some years now but you just moved it up :)

Hope I can get close to your finish, great inspiration!

Thank you for sharing!

Lovely little Tank you have there.  :)

I too thought that was rust on the wheels. But I like the way it looks even if it is not.

Really looks good Tojo! Esp considering what a tiny tank it is when you're used to Shermans and Panthers.

Great looking build. As I'm prepping for my first build, since I was 12 anyway. If I do half as well, I'll be doing well.

Nice build, I really like the weathering, is the base color straight from the bottle or your own mixYes

Fantastic looking build Tojo. Was the interior of the drivers compartment painted that red?? I ask only because I have the Marder 3 76mm and I painted the interior white. I figured I would ask while I can still change it to red easily.

I couldn't say for sure,I followed a couple of build logs I found on the net,and they were in primer,so I went with that.

Also only the floor is red,the walls and the turret inside are buff.
