Good to to you guys.
First of all, let me wish you guys a happy new year. Yesterday was our Burmese happy new year and I was actually going to post this yesterday but I got lazy so yeah. Wishing my happy near year to all of my dear readers and may you all have a beautiful year all around.
This gal is painted in ( all from Tamiya ) Nato Green, Nato Brown and Nato Black. Scheme is per the instruction and references per the Bundeswehr as I saw that all German PZH2000 are painted in the same pattern, with the exception of the ones in Afghanistan.
The amount of sanding and taking off parts from from this old kit to put on the etches took its toll on me upon reaching the weathering stage. At this point, I was running on fumes and I couldn't be bothered with so much effect of weathering effects so I just went heavy with various colour of dusts. I could have done better and more but I just wanted to call it done and make way and time for more kits.
Well, that's about as much I can sum up about the build. More informations and more photos ( many more) can be found on my blog -

Please do have a look and thank you so much in advance for any feedback you guys may have. C&C are welcomed. Just be gentle... LOL.
Until the next launch .

Re: Revell 1/35 panzerhaubitze
we were trained to fire 3 rounds while changing the elevation of the gun. so we fired one bunker piercing round, then an high explosive and after that for example a splinter round. bunker down it's possible to let all 3 rounds hit at once or in close distance! it's a machine of death and definetely the best spg in the world!

You're just getting better and better at this modelling lark. Boy o boy you do seem to knock them out pretty quickly.
