My 1:32 DAK Panzer III

Hi All:
Thought I'd share a few images of my favorite tank among a 1:32 scale collection, the Afrikakorps Panzer III by Ultimate.
I started with a sepia shot of the turret and figure pictured with a printed backdrop:

Unfortunately, the image did not capture much of the tank, so I tried some outdoor photography this morning:

Antiquing the image, the same shot but in sepia:

And lastly, I thought I'd try photo-editing with a digitally added background picture. This one is my personal favorite:

While I've always been partial to Tiger tanks, the Ultimate Soldier/21st Century Panzer III is my favorite tank, mainly because of the N. Afrika/DAK color scheme, but equally nice is the diecast body and detailing - including the DAK palm emblem. Perhaps FOV will produce a DAK Panzer of comparable detail. Now I've got to break out some British armor for a larger scene. Comments welcome.
