Name of Build: Winter Hetzer

Kit manufacturer: Tamiya

Scale: 1/48

Description
This was an out of box build of Tamiya's Hetzer 1/48 scale kit. I painted it with Vallejo and Life Color acrylics with dark yellow on the sides and under body with dark green hard-edged patterns on the sides. The top was also covered with dark green, and the gun was hit with red primer.

I sprayed a coat of chipping fluid over the model, then used Mig Ammo Washable white paint on it. I was able to remove most of the paint creating a heavily worn white-wash. I repeated this process after coating the initial white with Future.

For weathering, I used AK and Ammo enamels for a filter and wash. I used oils to create streaking and mud on the upper surfaces. For the mud on the tracks, I mixed Mig mud with dark colored pigments and applied it to the tracks. I hit muddy areas with additional pigments and enamels afterward to create contrast. Finally, I added some Future to create a wet mud look.
