A quick and easy build, needed to practice on something for haevy weathering and mud techniques. Not quite pleased but its a start:





























Suggestions and comments are always welcome and appreciated.

I think it turned out great, looking forward to how your future weathering comes out!

Hi Nikos,

I have one of those, set aside for a conversion project.

I didn't know the US used them, fancy markings?

Otherwise looking great, I think your extreme weathering on the turret, down to bare metal, is a bit over the top, but then I generally prefer cleaner vehicles.

Cheers,

Christophe

The U.S. made the V-150...but they were all exported.

The V-100 was used in U.S. service.

Thank you for the commnets.

Indeed, this a what-if decals scheme. The US never used these vehicles, but I had a lot of M48 decals to spare and so here it is.
