I believe this is my first post here. Anyway, this is my AFV Club Aussie Mk5/1 converted into a Korean War Mk3 of the 8th KRIH. Hopefully the photos work. I have barely started weathering, these photos are just after applying the color coats. Sorry for the amount of pics. Update: There are in-progress photos at the bottom. Thanks for looking!

Hi
and welcome. Looks a really nice build, detailed and clean. Please don't overdo it on the weathering side so it looks like its gone ten rounds with a sandblasting machine. Just too many models around with excessive chipping on. Most real vehicles seem to be covered in mud and dirt more than scratches.
Once again nice build the first picture looks especially good in my opinion.

I think you should have put the in progress photos first , then we could have seen all the work that went into it before your paint job.Which , by the way I think is fantastic.
Super clean build , super clean paint job. Love it.
John.

I love a tank with lines and curves plus it's a great color to match.
