Country: | Dan , Ive built that kit many years ago.It is quite good especially for your first Armor model. If you need any info I'll be glad to help you as I have a good size amount of refrence material in my work shops library specializing in German WWII armor.Aslo if you would like to try "Zimmerit" I've used putty or a Pyrograph. Also you can visit Armorama :: Military Scale Modeling Community - Model and Diorama Features, Forums, Gallery, and More.

Country:  | I've built that one, so I can tell you the fit was very good, and I really have no complaints about the kit. You'll enjoy it, something different.

Country: | Well well well, I can help you there! Let me just re-upload the pic so it's not massive.
Here it is! If you'd like, I can take it off the diorama and take more pics of it, but I basically sprayed it all white, but a little high up, so you can see some of the dunkelgelb through it.
