Nice job but it's about time some manufacturer did us a new state of the art tooling of these tanks. Especially as they were the first real tanks and are such an important part of tank history.

Oykun, glad to see you perservered with this, it really looks very good, a super paint job, and nice to see you're proposing to do a base for it, looking forward to seeing it.

Thank you for the nice words!

I've done some paint chipping using two different colors. A Light Earth tone and a dark gray.

After that airbrushed a highly diluted mixture of tamiya buff as the dust base for the bottom and top hulls as a preparation for the dry mud.

Also used the streaking grime from AK to create some dirt streaks.

Here is the latest:

Thank you Matthew.

I think I'm done with this kit. Maybe some days later I can come up with a trench crossing beam or not.

It's been on and off for this kit for more than a year. Multiple times I've decided to throw it away furiously. However I'm glad I found the strength to finish it.

I hope you like what you see and many thanks for all the nice and encouraging words.
