Very nice M1 Erhan. I saw quite a few of these kits for sale at a local hobby show. It looks quite nice and now I am sorry I didn't get one. You did a fantastic job on a desert camo, though I wonder if any of the early M1's were ever painted that way. Your weathering is also very well done.

Regards,
AJ

Erhan,

Nicely done!

The weathering is subdued and good for the scale, but the armored side skirts are mounted too high.

Erhan,

You did an excellent job on the paint. It actually looks like painted metal. The weathering is a bit lite for my taste, but that's just me. Aside from the side skirts it's an excellent build!

Thanks for posting and sharing your build here.
