Quoted TextIt looks good from a distance, but he missed lots of details and has all sorts of accuracy issues. He has lots of color errors too.
The .50 cal ammo cans should be dark green, not sand. Same for the 40mm ammo cans in the turret bustle rack.
The rear lights are not correct. The taillights are upside down. The ovals should be up. Also, he didn't paint them. Only the upper left oval should be red, the others are all black slits as part of the blackout drive/stop light system. Most modelers get this wrong and it is a pet peave of mine. Here is how it should look.
The handle in the circle on the left front side skirt should be red. It is the pull handle for a HALON fire suppression system inside the vehicle.
The antennas and their bases should be dark green, not black.
The straps on the water jugs should not be brown leather. They should be a shade of green fabric webbing w/flat black buckles. Same for the straps on the ammo cans, which he elected not to paint.
His stowage is not accurate either....
i was going to post some pictures of some afv models ive just built ,but dont think i will bover now.hope maxwinamp will still bover to build great models and they look fantastic up close and at a distance! anyway im going to get rid of all my unbuilt models now (thousands) and take up rivet counting,im converted!
Well, this is CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK and in reading the guidelines of this part of the site, this is exactly what is expected of this part of the site. So, rivet counting and other forms of "nitpicking" are expected, including how well the model may nor may not be built.
Having said that, overall I really like this model - I think we all agree it is a super paint job and weathering job. I don't know much about Sheridans either but I can still appreciate the comments on the detail, and I am sure the modeler does too since he put his post here. So, don't be discouraged. Getting proper feedback here can help all of us become better modelers, I think.
