Pz.Kpfw I ausf. F (FlyHawk 1/72)
Tiny tank in tiny scale (for Armor). I don’t build AFW models frequently, but sometimes it’s good to change something, even in your hobby. This one looks interesting to me, especially that side doors. FlyHawk kit is nearly excellent – molding quality, PE parts, metal barrels, separated track links (in 1/72 scale!), and even a some kind of a display stand. It was a real pleasure to build it. For painting (as I know very little about painting and weathering AFW) I’ve chosen B&W technique by Jose Luis Lopez (here it is – http://jllopezstyle.com/tiger-i-bw-technique/), and it was an interesting experiment to me.
Thanks for watching!

It’s tiny even for the usual armour scale I bet. Can you post a coin or a lighter next to it for dimensional effect?
It’s a gem, very nicely detailed (again it looks like a regular 1/35) and painted

That’s very nice. Particularly since it looks as well-detailed as what one would expect in 1/35.

Dmitry. I was very surprised how small 1/72 scale and even 1/48 scale tanks are in comparison to model airplanes of the same scale. So to see this little dude this well done is very impressive.
Well done !
