Looks pretty good. You do know the first two pictures are showing the back end of the tank?
I happ[ened to find a video here. You'll need to put up with a bit of singing during the walk around, but it does show some vintage footage.

I guessing that the background is white, so the truest color image is the second one?
I like this series of tanks because of the rivet and bolt detail look. like the Lee tank.
Nice build.

Looks sweet brother... Wish I could have seen it in person at the last meeting...

You're really catching on fast with your painting... Over the last couple of kits you've build I've seen a definate improvement... The surface effects such as the rain marks are subtle and thought out... Well done

And no I haven't gotten moved yet

Jeff

It turned out great. I think I might have kicked a bit of the grassy turf you show all over the tracks up onto the back area a bit. When tanks get a movin the dirt gets churnin and flips everywhere.

Glad have been of help to you my friend. Look forward to seeing you in May
