This kit jumped off the shelf at me at the local Hobby Shop a few years ago. It was about the time I was reading Steve Zaloga's "Thunderbolt" book which dedicated a chapter to Project Zebra, the introduction of the Pershing in the last months of the European Theatre in WWII as a "production" test.
As always with Tamiya, it was a pleasurable build. I tried some of my post shading techniques for the first time to add a small level of color modulation by going dark on all the edges and high points.
I am nowhere near a master modeler but this was one of my best to date.
These shots were taken today and it is getting a bit dusty. Check last photo for a shot before weathering. Better light - Yeah my photog skills are non existent, bad setting, bad equipment.
OMG I almost forgot this. I entered this one in a show and was sick of always closing the hatches, so I asked my friend Ray Welshman, an accomplished and award winning figure painter to paint a couple of crew for me.
He did a fantastic job, Thanks for that Ray!.
