Hi all, 13 1/2 hours work and it's finished. Nitto's M8A1 with AFV Club vinyl tracks, some of the Airwaves etched set, and .50cal + oil barrels from the spares box.
As this is essentially a peacetime model I haven't weathered it the same as usual - the lower half has a wash of dried mud/dust colour whilst the upper part has it's usual dark wash. This brings out the details without overdoing the 'yuck' factor (I think!)
More pics in my gallery - about page 8-9 I reckon!

Thanks guys - I really gotta slow down. I go back to work next Tuesday so that should do the trick. Over the holidays I've got 6-7 hours modelling most days ! Already today I've finished and photographed this, mended one of my son's Warhammer tanks and made the decals for my next project and it's only mid-morning!!
