Really great weathering and nice model
It is a pity that the tracks present a horrible seems line on the side part
Cheers

I really like your model. The weathering is outstanding and its an interesting vehicle / subject that I haven’t seen modeled too often.

All around great job,
Noah

Once again, I really like the weathering on the model. Which Italeri kit did you use? I thought they only made the LVT-4 (ITA379) and the LVT-A1(ITA384). Do you have the kit number for the LVT-2?
thanks

Apparently, the LVT 2 is a new kit. ITA 6462. Great Models is taking advanced orders, no one else even lists it, cost $41 for the model and shipping.

I think you put the bilge outlet on the wrong side. Looks like you have it under the mud shoot on the right side. Should be front left well clear of the mud shoot, that will fit correctly without the bilge outlet under it. Love the model and weathering though. I'm on a LVT kick right now, building a bunch.

Great job on the LVT! I got mine last week but think I might wait a while to make it [I'm currently making Italeri's LVT(A)4] to see what the after market companies come up with.

I have two questions for you regarding your LVT. 1) Did you paint the tracks first and then install them or install them and then paint them? Can you elaborate on your method? 2) How did you paint your tracks? What colors did you use; did you use weathering powders; etc.

Thanks very much.

Hi,
I built all model and after painted all base paint as ABM 41/42:

https://armorama.kitmaker.net//features/1609

Tracks I painted Schokoladenbraun - MM acryl and next I used wash with black oil artist paint. After dry I used drybrush with colour silver (acryl MM), black (acryl MM) and white (oil artist paint). Next I put powders - mix rust and brown, and I used drybrush with black and silver colours paints acryl MM.

Beautiful model!

But it seems light for Panzer gray. Or is it the effect of the weatherling/lighting?
