This is Dragon's 1/35 sale Panzer IV J Late Sd.Kfz. 162/2
 
The model was built straight from the box. I had no problems with the construction phase, though care was needed when installing the vinyl mesh screens.
The kit was painted in a late war "ambush" scheme, using Gunze acrylics, sprayed through my new Spamax double action airbrush, which l must admitt, supprised me with what it can do. Just proves you don't need to spend a fortune to get decent results.

The colors used were Dark Yellow, Light Green, and Chocolate brown. The mottles were Dark Yellow lightened up.Over this l then applied a pin wash of Burnt Sienna and Burnt Umber oils, followed by a light dusting of Tamiya Dark Earth and Buff.

I was happy with the overall finish of this kit.
