JohnB Posted Friday at 11:10 PM Posted Friday at 11:10 PM Finished with this one. Completely OOB except for the wire antenna. I replaced the kit one with wire as it was a bit too thick. Painted with Tamiya and White Ensign paints. 3

I do not weather most of my tanks because I build them to display on my coffee table as "recognition models" I don't think in the context of a coffee table model lots of weathering makes sense. In a diarama or battlefield scene yes definitely. It's my choice. I don't look down on anyone who shows their work. You will notice I never make negative Comments on any builds. I get comments like: "Nice clean build" all the time I'm not sure the comments are always meant to be favorable, but I took the time to post my build and I like the way I build. A build that I have coming up I plan to make the model Look like the one at the Lantrun Museum. It's clean, but has slight rust stains. Thanks for posting your work.   1

LOL I'm glad you like the results of my efforts! 🙂 1
Spitfire Posted Sunday at 08:54 AM Posted Sunday at 08:54 AM Nice one John, I really like the camouflage finish, as to weathering, that is a very personal choice, I tend to do minimal weathering on my aircraft kits as all of them were new one time in their lives. When I used to build AFVs I weathered them a bit more as I used to put them on small bases. But your model, your choice, it is a hobby after all. Cheers Dennis 1

I'm pleased that you like the finished model. I intend to do a few more AFV's in future since I have several that have been in my stash for a while. 🙂 2
