Tamiya 1/35 M5A1 Stuart

[Grunhertz]

Hi this is the Tamiya tooling from 1977 that i picked up for a fiver from a show back in September, Just wanted a quick build to practice weathering with pastels and oils on 

I've tried to create a dusty Normandy look but something that has a fair bit of dried mud also

I started with the gunze lacquer modualation set and went from there

good looking model, but i Don't know what the hell the US was thinking sending these to fight against German tanks...

Cheers doc. I'm not sure the Americans knew why either!

Very fine work, hiding the age of the kit behind a fine paintjob and nice weathering.

Cheers Rob
