Hi gents,
Some time ago I started this project thanks to the generosity of AFV CLUB sent me to finish this model. After some accidents I could finish the tank and put the figure of the great Juanma Vergara. Now we just prepare a small base to decorate. I present the M24 Chaffee of the first Indochina war.
I hope you like it

Excellent weathering on what is about my favorite light tank.

Hola Domingo,
You have done an excellent job with the painting and weathering
of this build...both tank and figure.
Nice to see that the stowage is actually tied down.
Cheers,

Good work. And nice to see someone recognise that Indo-China had more soil types than red laterite😀

Hello Domingo,
excellent work. The build and the paint job is wonderful. I can`t imagine what you could have done better. Could you provide one or two more detailed pictures of the figure, please? The camouflage of the uniform looks amazing....
Best Regards

Very stunning presentation!
My only advice to make it even more dynamic is for you to add some .50 Cal links and empty casings on the turret and upper hull to amplify that the machine gun is being fired.
