My first tank model, just recently completed. My next two are already on the work bench.
This is a Panzer IV, sold by Revell AG as part of a tank kit with soldier figures, but what I learned AFTER I finished is that the kit is a Matchbox 1/76 scale kit with Revell's 1/72 scale soldiers. Needless to say, the soldier I was going to use as a tank commander wouldn't fit through the hatch!
The kit itself was a joy to build, though the vinyl tracks are a bit noticeable. The diorama base with the cow skull came with the kit and I photo'd it sitting on the sunroof of my 4runner. The other photo is a sand patch where my gutter empties out onto the lawn and killed the grass.
The tank is painted Afrika Mustard with Dark Tan patches and a wash of Leather Brown to bring out the texture and make it look slightly dirty. The tracks are the silver vinyl out of the box with a wash of flat black. Testor's Dull Cote to keep the decals from wearing off.
(edit) Ok, Yahoo Photos will only let me share albums, so let me try this URL.
