Nothing to add I can think of.
Nice build, authentic weathering. And the Russian green is right on spot!
Do you have more pics? Would be nice to see other angles...
Cheers,
Toni

Great reference photo, Slaphead, where's the model? #:-)
Seriously, that thing looks so real, it's about to roll off the screen. Nice work on the weathering.
Looks wonderful, congrats

Alasdair,
Ah what a beauty, I think you have done yourself proud with this one mate. I have to agree with the others in that you really have captured the russian 'green' look. I like the dusty effect and the sheen to the tracks as seen from the front.
I really hope that this will be making an appearance at Euro??

Great job on a VERY ugly tank. I agree with the others, put this in front of a historic background, or maybe show it in black and white, and you'd fool a lot of people into thinking it was the real thing.
