Great idea -using those letters I've used the numbers in that range as masks before



But using them for a shop name is a really good idea

I the the tank's paint scheme and weathering. A couple of nit picks for me. The vision slots for the TC aren't dark enough for my tastes. The inside of the back left fender looks forgotten on color.

The building is great, nice and crisp. The size of the letter is spot on.

Great progress, like the idea. You've done fantastic, especially being your first tank going from glue to weathering.

Looking forward to updated pics, thanks!

What is this kind of letters? PE?
Where can be found?
TIA

Thanks guys,

Petros,
these letters are cut from a metallic paper (could be all metal for all I know) and can be found in assorted scrap-book shops. Let me know if you have problems getting these things in Greece.

Scott,
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated. Let me get the vision slot remark straight. You mean the inside of the cuppola, right? Or the slit itself?
I modified these since they were open in the kit and closed on the tank I'm depicting. I know there should be something on the inside but can't be bothered adding anything but I'll certainly slap on some dark paint as suggested.
The inside of the fender is noted. Will get on it.
I'm very grateful for all feedback, both positives and negatives. That's how we learn, right?.
