The Battle of Kursk, Jul - Aug 1943

One of my favorite and best WWII German kitbash and it is already 5 year old. Here I depict him as a participant in the greatest (can war be "great"?) or should I say, biggest tank battle in human history - The Battle of Kursk.



This is the first time I have done such extensive weathering on a figure. And I went as far as tearing the uniform in a certain places. When creative juices are flowing, the imagination is the limit.
One thing I could be changing away is that helmet. Need a newer metal one with thinner ream and perhaps a pair of cloth boots with proper to scale cloth gaiters. Will do it when the opportunity strikes but he looks as good as he is currently, so I am already satisfied.
