I am not able to finish this build, due to a family emergency. I will likely have to be absent, for a couple of months. The builds, here are amazing. You are earning your ribbons.
Sorry to hear that. Take care Matt.

Tom,
IMHO, don't worry about the correct shade of green/olive drab. If it was built in the early-mid war it would've probably faded anyway, making your shade as accurate as anyone else's interpretation. There is a whole discussion on the "correct" olive drab paint somewhere on this site.
You're model looks great.
Take care,

Very nice paint job and weathering. Makes even an old kit like this look like a winner.

Hello Folks...My contribution to this GB is this braille M103A1 Heavy Tank:
I've started assembly back in 24-Nov:
It's a simplified kit, most likely crafted for wargaming.
I've been working on and off on this kit and finally got it ready for painting:
Will post more updates in time...

Thanks Pawel. I've uploaded them. I'd finished it ages ago but had lost the steering wheel so had to pinch one off an old jeep to finish it off then forgot to update my pics lol. Finally the pics are on :-)
