Question- does Meng give you the actual smoke grenades for the turret or just the launchers? Not a big deal but I just realized I never checked.

Hi Pascal, a great building and an amazing finish. It makes me want to order one of these.

I have a doubt nonetheless: it seems weird that the lower green ERA block over the engine hatch has been left tan in the bottom. Have you painted that on purpose and have references for it, or you just overlooked it?

As I see it, the logical thing would be that the whole block should have been painted the same colour.


Regards,
César

There is the empty and full smoke dischargers in the box. I was to lazy to paint the black caps on the full discharger

Thanks Cesar, I've make a mistake (that I will repair ASAP) the BRAT need to be totally green.

As I see it, the logical thing would be that the whole block should have been painted the same colour.

Thanks Cesar

BRAT are completely from one colour or tan or green !

Question on the chipping on the front track guard: is it painted on, or did you chip off an overcoat with salt or hairspray?

Looks awesome. Great job on the weathering. It looks very realistic. One small correction though. When the TOW box is up in the firing position, the doors on the Gunner's Primary Sight (GPS) should also be open. The GPS is the sight for both the TOW and the main gun/coax MG.
