38 (t) Hetzer

 This is the Tamiya kit in 1/35 scale. Relatively simple to build as expected. The Hetzer is a small 2 crew vehicle so it has little bulk to it. 

This vehicle was built entirely out of the box with added wire antenna (removable). Yes I resisted the urge to add stowage. Very much of a struggle.

I used this to practice my weathering layers. I painted the tank with the 3 color camo, Tan , Green, Brown enamels and did some basic shadowing and chipping. Then I Heavily gloss coated with floor wax. I sprayed light coats in streaks of white, then brushed off streaks with a lacquer dipped brush.  After another clear coat, I pin washed and chipped. I sprayed on another gloss coat and another layer of white.

Being as it is still winter, I wanted it to look cold so used some snow and ice effect products on the ground work and vehicle.
