Agreed! Love the camo and the highlights you need with every single panel and bolt. The figures are really well done too!

Superb effort moJimbo, I especially like the loader in the act of loading, a nice touch.

Looking great MoJimbo. The camo looks excellent, nicely faded and everything is tied together well. Do you use filters or washes to achieve this? A point was made in the earlier thread about rusting up the track stowage a bit ... I think this would add to the result ... the spares look a little too clean and un-natural....
The figures are also well painted ..and a good choice of figures ..the poses are good.
Overall a nice model and painted such that all the detail is visible and nicely "popped" without looking exaggerated. Only other little nit-pick is that there appears to be some silvering on the "1A" decal at the front. Nice one.

thanks frank....
what i did after painting the camo was to overspray everything with dark yellow a few layers until i get the 'faded paint' look... after then i drybrushed the details and raised areas so the 3-colour camo blends more with hull colour.
the tracks, tools and exhaust were brushed with brown pastel chalk... but i guess the pics don't show them clearly... hmm?.... but you've made a good point there..

Marvelous piece of work MoJimbo. The paintjob is fantastic. Like everyone else, I really like the faded camo.
Figures look really good too.

Jimbo, you must bring it to our next meet. If you do not have the casing, I will bring you one. Beautiful work like yours must be admired by modellers like us.
Good build! Congratulations!

Spelled with a 'K' or 'C' Sil? I wouldn't mind a ride if you have one those K's. :-) Hope you can make it to the next session.
