Awarded: Silver

By: Eyal Reinfeld

Manufacturer(s): Dragon

Modifications: Eduard PE crate set, some minor scratch with plasticard.

After-market parts: Create are from Eduard, and some scratch plasticard. The figures are from AB figures.

Description: A late war vehicle moving into position. Painted with Tamiya's and model masters acrylics, and weathered with oil and acrylics.

Judge 1: Again .. Very clean build, nice light camo application & subtle chipping the tyres look a little clean & toneless, the metal look of the MG42 is very realistic. Very nice figures & scene too!
Judge 2: The build is generally very good with only a few of the rocket crates looking a bit rough. The paint is well done and in particular the camouflage is very good. It seems that you have missed painting the open vission blocks, painting them a gloss blue/grey colour or gloss black usually looks good. Some of the chipping is a bit clumbsy and over scale, making some improvements here by using a smaller brush and taking more time, will help move you onto the next level. The figures and base are also very good, although not judged, and overall this is a great little model.
Judge 3: Very nice model! I like your airbrush work, and the weathering too! The figures are well painted! Next time try to use less wash on the face of figures. The chips are a bit overscale around the engine hatch, especially the light ones. The weathering of the undercarriage is a bit monotone, especially the wheels. Overall it's a nice model, well done!
