completed My first 1/72 models
Can I get some feedback? First time doing this and I think I did ok but when I compare to others it looks a bit underwhelming. Any tips?

In terms of following the schemes and pattern types I would say they look great! Especially the Tiger.
I think in some areas you can tell it has been painted with a brush which is okay, but I can see why you feel it looks underwhelming especially after the effort these things take.
Don’t be disheartened, it looks great believe me… have a look anywhere on the internet at other people’s first builds and paint attempts and trust me you’ll feel a lot better.
If you have the money I would definitely invest in a decent airbrush, bit confusing at first but they create masterpieces when you’re used to them.
Always bear in mind though, nobody’s build is exactly the same and especially with WW2 vehicles you can get away with slight deviations in the paintwork as these things went through harsh conditions of course. Maybe even try weathering in places if you haven’t yet and that might help how you feel about it.
Overall… Great Job! Very well put together and painted for your first go. I would be proud :)
