Hello,

As said in my introduction post, this is my first 1:35 kit, while i'm usually an aircraft modeler. hence all critics, comments and tips n' tricks are most welcome.

Base paint Gunze, oil paint filter and pigments ... and seeing the pics, I just noiced the front right wheel isn't touching the floor ! Crap !

Thanks for looking,

Best

Stef, I think the colors are great, I love the weathering on the tires...Looks like your tail light is missing. I would have painted the tools in metal/wood color to add more contrast. On the muffer, it lookings like there might be a seem and I would have added soom rust colors.

Over all nice effort.

Nicely done. I love the weathering and the look of the decals- they look very real and very faded.

(Question: Was this vehicle used post-war by anyone other than the USSR?)

hello,
Thanks to you both for your inputs; yes the tail light is missing as well as siren, to the front. The glazing of the front light needs some work, too, as the seam of the muffer.

As for some postwar users, USSR apart, Wikipedia states Czechoslovakia, North Korea and China, although I didn't found any related piccies.

thanks a lot for looking,

Best

The North Koreans had a few. There's on account of a M26 taking one out and there is a picture of cpatured one being used by US troops.
