Thanks to LM decals, I could add some more color to my old Revell/Matchbox Chaffee.
Cheers

That Is a different look for the old Chaffee.
What nation are those markings?
Keep Up the Good Work.

Hey Ken,
they're Greek insignia. (The decal manufacturer is Greek, so... ;-) )
At the end of their service life the M24 were painted in a MERDEC scheme.
Glad you like it,
Rob

@Rob_Haelterman – Rob,
First time seeing the Chaffee sporting a different national insignia or such a colorful camouflage scheme, looks very reminiscent of the way the Japanese painted their armor during WWII. You did an all around marvelous job with this kit and it does look interesting at that!
I do have one complaint and that is that your photographs are too small. They appear to be around 600 pixels or smaller. Could you try posting at least one photograph in the 800 – 1000 pixel range? I know how taxing a large picture could be for those connecting to the Internet via a modem; so only one photograph at that size should work fine for viewing and loading the page.
Thanks for posting and sharing your work here, hoping to see more.

Best regards. Pedro.

Thanks Pedro.
Yes indeed, it will be put into a small vignette.
Many of them were used as artillery support in pre-prepared positions, so I will make a small trench to put it in.
Cheers
