Gentlemen,

The latest addition to my Panzer collection:

it's just arrived, so a bit dirty and looks bad, but still has some original paint on it.

Yes,
wood:
-first brush dirt off;
-then wash with turpentine;
-after soak with 1/5 linseed oil in turpentine, to protect the wood
-last polish a bit of wax, as a final touch.

I might fill in the holes with wood white glue, not sure.

Metal:
-clean rust off with some soft metal sponge
-protect with a bit of wax or oil

Nice find ! I would like to get one !

Restoration: of course it's yours but I would not use linseed oil and wax. This will not look like it was in 1943... Brushing and cleaning. And neutral fungicide stuff as protective treatment.
Your method will give a glossy effect to it.

Cheers

Hello Eric,

I couldn't believe it when I saw it I was lucky enough to get it

You're right! The linseed and wax is what I use when restoring old countryside furniture...Would dipping it in diesel give it a good used look? I will take note of the fungicide tip, thanks.

Seems the gods are being good to me this year...Just another item, still fresh:

Hi !
And where did you find it ?

Diesel would be good... to clean it and protect but it will smell for a long time... if you dip the block into

I am a german WWII crate collector and the fungicide is the best not alter wood color when it is factory new !

Ebay!!! That simple!! Sometimes you can find nice things there

Yes. I can imagine but it might also kill any woodworm (If still alive).
