Lee? Is that a manufacturer?

Anyway, thats a good build- the weathering is really good- in all the right places and of the volume you'd expect on a tank not so well looked after. I especially like the front and rear mud guards/fenders- the metallic sheen gives them a very realistic appearance.

Welcome to Armorama Subinbuoi.

Possibly the best build I have ever seen. Welcome to the site.

Wow! Super build with masterful weathering. Really nice. Did you do the markings by hand or decal? Chipping was done with salt method?
Thanks for sharing and welcome back!
Cheers!

Hi all,
this is my first post
Kit from Lee T54 Medium Tank


So, painting aside, you did a huge job to improve the kit

For exemple i noticed that you've ehnanced a lot the turret.

So, great work indeed.
It would be interesting reading more about the works you did it
