F Matthews It shouldn't be 'buff' (elfenbein) either. The interior side of the hatches were colored the same as the exterior.

Well according to Panzer Colors by Bruce Culver & Bill Murphy you are correct, but on 'some' rare occasions they were colored the interior 'buff' color. This is that 'rare' occasion.
F MatthewsOne note-you might want to redo the hatch lid in grey. They were never white on German (or most any other) armour. A big white hatch was a big white hazard! Nice clean build!
I've wondered about that. Would it be panzer grey, should it have the same camo color as the rest of the vehicle?
stikpusher Nice work on the classic kit. And I do really like how you have the TC hunkered down to be less of sniper bait.

F MatthewsThat was my first Tamiya tank kit back in 1975 or so. I've had a couple since then just for the fun of the build. One note-you might want to redo the hatch lid in grey. They were never white on German (or most any other) armour. A big white hatch was a big white hazard! Nice clean build!
Matthews you are so correct on the inner color of the hatch. At that time the color should have been 'Buff', but I didn't have it when I built it, (I do now). Later on they were colored with the external color of the tank.
This is the Tamiya Pzkpfw II ausf F/G kit-CA109. It came with Afrika Korps figures and the box art had it colored in Afrika Korps service but I painted it German grey and placed it on the eastern front.
Agree with the otehrs, nice job on this. I do like the dust effects.
Which of the Tamiya kits is this one.

Gamera Pretty cool, I like the dusty look you've got there, it works well to integrate her into the base.

i agree. these would be in really good shape and clean at the start, i like the tank commander with just his head sticking out instead of half his body. nust be a short guy.

This the Tamiya model that I built a few years back. The base is from Verlinden and the figure is from Italeri.
