Hi Dario

Looking good, the 3 colour pre war paint scheme chipping is difficult to see on the photos, it could be the lighting :?:

The brown/Grey 2 tone does look right and the low contrast B/W photo, just goes to show why it was not picked up for such a long time ;)

Always good to see another Pz I on PA :D

Nice work :D

Nice work Dario. Interesting to see how the camo colours virtually merge when seen in greyscale. No wonder it can be difficult to interpret colours of early Panzers from B/W photos!

Are you adding the cable from the hull superstructure to the antenna frame too?

Good looking tank!

Nice salvage with the broken parts. It is a good thing you didn't find them in the cat's litter box. :evil:

Hi Dario,

That's a very fine build! If mine ever turns out even half that good i will be happy.

Now how do we drag you away from World of Tanks and get you to build more? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for taking a look, guys, glad you like it!
Well, I make some time for modelling; I'm trying to build a pole, like the ones showed in this pic:

Image

Image

So, I pick an old Academy sprue, and made some modifications (still in progess):

Image

The terrain (WIP too); its supposed to be Poland 1939

Image

The vehicle in place; need to adapt the terrain to the tracks

Image

Image

And that's all up today

Well, I almost finished one of these little panzers; Por fin terminé uno de los keiner, el de Polonia. In these pictures I summarize the exercises I wanted to do this project

Image

The little contrast betwenn the two colors used in 1939, Nr. 46 / RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau and Nr. 45 / RAL 7017 Dunkelbraun

Image

The mix of dry and wet mud accumulated in the tank, including footprints left by the crew when move on the vehicle, some splashing, the attempt to conceal the evidents Balkan crosses, etc

Image

Image

Image

A dry terrain, with some puddles due to the previous days rains
