Thought I’d put up a couple of photos of a Panzer 3 close-support tank that a mate has built.
He scratch-built the tray on the back carrying several jerrycans, the ‘strap’ holding them in place is actually silver sheet! He’s a goldsmith, and he says that silver is much easier to work than brass, and isn’t much difference in price to copper…
I particularly like the rusty appearance of the exhaust, and the dirt on the tracks.
The cream tank on the left is a Skoda ‘Hetzer’, built up as one of the team tanks from the animé ‘Girls Und Panzers’,
terrific little tank, adopted by the German army as a light tank killer, probably my favourite tank.
