My first real model since 15 years. I've done a m2a2 ods to get back to it, but I was poorly impressed with my performance. Therefore I need your guidance! Do not be worry, I'm open to all constructive feedback, bad and good.
In fact don't be easy on me!

There is the mod. Still I ave to get another glossy clear, apply the slides.
I want to put mud on there, is it better to wait after the washes?

Another angle. It is sad though, the colours don't show well.
I'll try to fix this for next post.

I'll be using the marking of the 34th brigade 107th RAC
but the ``briton`` slides with the tamiya kit are not quite up to the task... Any advice?
Here are a couple of photos. I have not been able to make them fit properly...






Thank you guys!

Finally went with fine plasticard for stowage straps.
We'll see how it goes.
