PFC, since this is an American tank crossing a bridge I would advise you not use the signs for Kursk and Kharkov as they were Russian towns deep in the Russian country. There would be no US tank anywhere near either of those towns.

PFC if you wish to leave the sign it is all wrong for the Tank and American troops. No American armored units or infantry faught near Kursk or Kharkov. That would be for German or Russian units only. Russia used some US tanks but I believe only the Lee and Sherman. I may be wrong about that I'm not 100% sure.
Hope this helps you . The dio looks great otherwise!

That looks good. The water turned out well. I liked the barrel floating in the water. Besides the signs, I think it is a great dio.

Thanks for history lesson guys, what do you suggest I use on my sign.

Excellent dio pfc. If i were to add a suggestion it would be to add some more foilage on the river embankment..... especially where the bridge is settled. It will blend the bridge onto the embankment and there would usually be some grasses growing or shrubs growing out of these undisturbed areas.
Otherwise an excellent dio. For signposts, anything in north france, holland etc. would be perfect!

PFC,
Nice diorama.
For the signs, how about Soissons and Reims (two towns close proximity N France) in 1944 or 1945

Location? Depends on what markings are on the M5A1. To what unit did it belong, and where did they fight?
