Description: This is Revells Panzerhaubitze 2000 Built OOTB. Painted in Vallejo Acrylics and weathered with oils and pigments.

Judge 1: Well constructed model but lacking a pre-paint/construction photo. The photos are good and sharp but could have been cropped closer to the model. The paint is well applied and has good tonal variation and fading but I find the colours are a too drab and lifeless and don’t compare well to the lively NATO colours. The weathering is good and matches well with a dry dusty summer.
Judge 2: This is really nice, good even paintjob on hard edge camo nice different tones on all three colours. no construction issues, the pinwashes are very well done & the weathering getting lighter as we go up the vechicle & the streaks down the turret & the drybrushed lightened bolt heads all help to creat a great model the decals are toned in well especially the striped mudguards looking faded. good amount of mud on the wheels. the canvas tarp on the barrel looks realistic too Good work, well done.
Judge 3: Well built and the camouflage has been applied well. Perhaps a little heavy on the drybrushing as it has a slightly frosted look (this also makes the green look almost grey). The weathering around the running gear is superbly done.
