Here is my entry for the Cold War Cook-off Campaign. It is an AFV Club M41A3 Walker Bulldog. This is one of my first attempts doing weathering. Any comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Congrats on completing your Bulldog. Your weathering is subtle and looks well done---this is a good looking vehicle.

Beautiful job! I was never really that big of fan of armour past WW2, but guys doing excellent work like you are making it hard to resist.

Very nice work there Kingcrt. If anything at all, I would add a bit more gloss to those vision ports. Otherwise, nice paint job.

real good job, I was thought you had the PVC mantlet but seeing that this is tissue & white glue ... One thing though: I'd add a little black around the exhausts (and inside) and perhaps a little aound the muzzle, too.
Are you planning to do a dio? Would like to see that, too

Everyone,

Thanks for the good comments. I have been pondering adding the suggestions about the exhaust and the muzzle, as well as adding more gloss to the vision ports. Also, this bulldog has post Korean War US markings.

Thanks for the .
