Great looking little tank,if i may suggest try giving the tracks a rusty wash as they look a little to bright

thanks karl.
The flash from the camera makes everything a little too bright...
They aren't that bright but I'll give them a red brown wash anyway

Nice work John, looks good. Interesting to see the spare fuel drum, as it seems to be taking on some Soviet traits. What did you use for the lenses in the front?
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Tim!
Since it was a post-WWII tank and most of the Czech armour was Soviet made, well I got inspired..
The front lenses, the big one in the middle and the 2 little ones were provided with the kit.
This little Bilek kit had maybe the best clear parts I've seen, great detail and almost no clean up to do. It was painted with Tamyia clear blue
