Hi guys,

This I my M-38. It’s the AFV kit out of the box with some scratch building, PE jerry can holder, pe mesh, and a few resin pieces.
Still need to do a bit more work on the radiator grill. But as far as I can tell she is getting there.









Hints and tips always welcome.

Well got the base coulors on. I used Lifecolor's UA 020 Israeli Sandgrey 61-73
Need to add the decals and I can seal it and start with the weathering.
I am using Verlinden dry transvers for the hood registration and the rear











Still a lot of work to do but slowly getting there

He doesn´t mean anything is wrong with it. He means that if someone has to shoot on a plane or something in that position, it wouldn´t pretty to stand like that.

Well she’s weathered and has gotten a little dust on her. I added some gear to her to make it look nice and busy. I decided not to add the .50 cal in the end.













So I am calling her done.

Thanks for looking.
