A`noon Chaps,
Been toiling away on this one,and thoroughly enjoyed it.
All hand painted as i didn`t fancy trying to mask that camo:dizzy: ,however,if,and when,i do another similar scheme i will mask and spray.......just for the smoother finish.Although i`m kinda growing to like the rougher look!!:thinking::tears-of-joy:
So,here it is......

Not the best ever,(By far!!),but enjoyable and a good test bed for this type of paint scheme.
Thanks for looking in,
Cheers,
Andy

That looks really good Mr. Smiff!!! Tomaz, the driver came out great too. Andy, there's nothing wrong with the camo as I'm pretty sure the originals were also hand painted. Nice build!!!

Thats a little gem Smiffy. Its a nice tank to build. I like the added detail of the driver as well. Nice to see my friend

Great work Andy. Very well done indeed but rather you than me on the camo!

Thanks Allen ,
Yes,I don't suppose they were overly fussy with the paint job, although probably a tad tidier than my effort!! ;)

Thanks very much Steve :smiling3:
I always like to add at least one figure to a build.... Just seems to bring a little something to the party!

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for that :smiling3: , the camo was quite good fun in a strange way.... although I must admit that even though I cheated a bit by using the black liner pen,I lost count of how many times I had to revisit areas to try and "tidy up" the edges with the three colours!! ;)

Cheers Jim :smiling3:
I think it's rather "Cute" too.... And very tiny when compared to it's contemporaries,(as you can sort of see by how big the driver looks!!).

"Unusual" Indeed..... Bordering on "Strange" I'd say!!

Nice job. On the real thing, I'm guessing both guns would turn independently ?
Sorry for the delay in replying Colin!
Thanks very much.... yep,they certainly would need to rotate independently.... otherwise there could be a complete mess!!:dizzy::thumb2:
