75mm Pak 40

This is the old Tamiya kit, built about 10 years ago. I went for the clean look on this, no weathering, just a teensy bit of drybrushing to highlight the details.

Odd.

Very nice indeed. I built the same kit a long time ago, and thought it was a cracking little piece. It probably doesn't stack up against modern versions with slide moulding and PE as standard, but I thought it build into a very adequate replica. Based on your work, I'd say it's better than that.

As for not weathering, I think there's a good case for keeping stuff "fresh" looking. Being brutally honest, a lot of late war German equipment went from factory-finish (with perhaps a slight patina of dust) to totally obliterated by allied air power, without being in the field long enough to get very weathered at all...
