Really nice paint and assembly work! Wow. I have this kit in the stash and it's really nice to see yours getting completed.

Nice work on the caunter scheme. Not something I personally look forward to masking...

But would the POW-cans be painted in the same scheme? Even if they were, I doubt the crew would have taken the effort to rearrange them in the right way after use...

Cheers!

The POW cans that carried water were normally painted white so errors would not occur.

That paint job is superb. I prefer the markings that are painted on over decals anyday.

Are you sure those aren't photos of a real tank?

Hi All. This is the end of this A13 MK.II Tank Cruiser. I put the tank in its base, and add two england soldiers.
The conclusion: It´s a good kit, and I enjoyed doing

Very well made and painted model. I think it looks excellent If I could make a criticism, but not of your work, I would say the figures are not as well moulded as your work deserves. Possibly using crisper hands and heads would make it look totally perfect rather than nearly perfect.

regards

Figurs a little chunky.

A superb job, Omar --- a surprisingly colorful tank, accurately represented, with a very realistic degree of weathering. I, too, had to do a double-take to be sure I wasn't seeing the real thing! Well done!
