Superb weathering, Przemysław! What can you tell us about the model and what it is based on?

Good idea and great finish!

One nitpick if I may : the larger "bullet hit" impact on the left hand side would be unrealistic for the armour thickness of a "regular" Jagdpanzer IV in that area, but it's totally wrong for a Japdpanzer IV A-0 which is a prototype made of soft steel not armoured steel.

Cheers,

Christophe

When criticizing the piercing because of the non-ermoured steel it would be more striking that there schould be another hole on the right side or at least a bump, especially because of the missing main gun, which could have baffled the projectile. But the modeling of the hole itself is ok in my eyes. But: Mistakenly there is a gunners periscope mounted while the main gun is missing.
Nevertheless a fine model.

Forget the nitpickers and naysayers, I think you did an outstanding job on an original looking Jagdpanzer IV.

generally I've done it for diorama purposes, however I abandoned project and leave that poor damaged vehicle on shelve. I'm painting and weathering lover, not accurate master, but sometimes If I want to create something from photo I will do it correctly. But mostly I like to "paint that s**t" So please understand me Thank you for all comments and opinions.

Ohh also I have some question for someone from United States of America. I'm searching someone who can and want to re-change his models works and put them on local contests (exact - you send me yours 2-3 built kits, I do the same - and you starts with my models in contests in USA and I will do the same here in Poland) because I always want to get some title from USA model contest, but it is country to far for me and my earns to travel. If someone is interested please pm me
