Nice looking model Ranger! Was that built out-of-the-box?

Keep up the good work and show us more of your models

Ahhh, one of my all time favorite builds! Nice job Ranger74! :-)
I like the weathering. Fuel spills too.
Keep up the good work. What's next on the table?

Thanks. The M3 is out of the box. I built it 10-12 years ago. It has those infamous tracks. I used a lighter color pastel chaulk ground and reground into the top surfaces to replicate sun fading. One thing I do is to put on the decals after painting and before any weathering. I find it blends and ages the markings with the paint.
