I really like it, but I'm a little confused.  What is the original color supposed to be?  It looks like it's Panzer Grey, but with a ton of mud on it, but what looks strange then is that the white circle and red cross look painted on the mud.... does that make sense?

Unless I'm wrong about the base color :D

Well, I like the model and what you've done with it (mainly the details, the camouflage dressing), but I think there's too much weathering going on. I myself am still struggling with the right amount of weathering, but people told me that less is a whole lot more...
Daaaaaaaaaaaaah !

The color is not a grey, but a dirty Brown...a dark Dunkelgelb color, wich was painted and repainted.

This vehicule is much weathered cause it will play on a ruined Berlin table in 1945. After 5 years of war, I think it would be like this...  ;)

Thank you all.

No, they are old Bolt action accessories (before the Warlord games era...)
