Hi Jeff,

Again saw this one last night. I really like the finish you've achieved and the worn and used look about the tank.

If I had any observation on this one or the Crusader it wouold be the lack of external stowage and the absence of a pennant on the ariel. The missing cable on the Sherman stands out a bit, as does the missing flower pot antenna bit.

Great work on both kits, excellent stuff.

Jeff-- you did a fine job on that model. The fender damage is outstanding as is the pitting of the surface.
Well done.

Yep, great job. A lot of fine workmanship there and you’ll probably win any contest it’s submitted in. But IMO not realistic.

Just my thoughts, some like it looking like it was sitting in a target range for ten years.
Great subject and fine modelling job.

You did a very fine job, with a lot of exellent paint effects, congrats ! BTW it's not only about how to make a realistic historical correct subject, it's also about giving it your own artistic signature. That's what makes each vehicle so unique ! And that is what was done here. Thanks for sharing this beauty ! G.
