Hi square head, I see that it has been a long time since you came here, I hope you are well and your loved ones too;
Shake when you return

As I promised you here is another example of painting.
Here the front hatch of a PZIV. I also put the back or you can discover the gray panzer and also the shade of green which quickly passes to the light, it is here preserved in its original shade.
This hatch belonged to pzIV 743 attributed to the Das Reich destroyed in Saint Lambert sur dive on the night of August 20-21.
Major Currie who won there the Victoria Cross talks about its destruction.
On the night of August 20 to 21, 44, he heard a vehicle coming from his own lines which passed by him on the main street of Saint Lambert. In the dark night he does not identify it, then the vehicle passes next to a burning Sherman, to his amazement he discovers a German tank loaded with infantry. A split second later on the 17 pound of an ATG ends its run. I found this hatch in 2013 in the reconstructed house where it was destroyed.cordialement Stéphane
