Terry-- looks great! Can you post a shot(s) of the M-26. I am building one and would like to see how you painted the interior and the colors on the levers.
thanks

DJ I am not quite done with it yet, but I painted the interior O.D. like the outside.

Terry,
That's quite an ensemble you've got going there! Really nice work. If you don't mind a small suggestion . . . that would be to lightly dry brush some gray over the red bottle to tone it down a bit.

Nice, combo Terry. I've been thinking of something like this for a change from 1/35 scale. And the Tamiya M26 seems awfully large for my cabinet...
Inspiring!
Cheers!

The name on the decal sheet (based on a mistaken color drawing of the tank by Steve Zaloga some years ago) reads "Flat Foot Floosie," when it should read "Flat Foot Floogie," a popular 1938 song lyric by Slim Gaillard ("Flat Foot Floogie with a Floy Floy").

That's an excellent combo buddy. The weathering on the tank is fantastic.
I very much like the wa you show the carriers wheels with dust on the side and the rubber in the middle.

Thanks P.A. I've done some more weathering to the M26 and need to upload some more images.
