I built this particular model for a sponsored build log for the Track Link website back in 2011. Track Link provided the kit and I added the figure, stowage and an Adler's Nest Brass MG34, by far the most accurate looking M34 barrel I have  ever seen.I used the hairspray technique to achieve the chipping effect on the model. I kept the white wash to a minimum on the lower part of the hull as it would typically be quickly worn off with mud, dirt and snow. I used Tamiya acrylics on this model along with Mig pigments for the weathering. The main gun barrel is from the kit and it is pretty good as it  is one piece and even has the rifling texture inside the barrel.
