Hello folks me again.

Another Chilean Army tank, this time a Sherman M50 w/60mm gun, painted and weathered with K4 and Ammo of Mig products. The kit its the not that good old Dragon from the 90's, and a conversion by Greg Buechler in resin, photo etched and turned barrel, that was a pain to build, not like the one he made for the Chilean Army M51. I made a few mistakes and almost endes in the trash, but I managed to finish it. The paint job its more a what if, since I did't set up well my airbrush and didn't want to re painted. But all in all I'm happy with the final result as an techniques test bed. A few scratch build items and cargo were added as well. Decals from Bison Decals and the antennas are also aftermarket metal items.

I don't know much about shermans and their variants in other countries but from an artist's viewpoint, i'd say it looks plenty realistic and cool (I'm very much a dusty person when it comes to weathering )

Only down-point would have to be the cargo items in the stowage which In my opinion, draw away too much attention due to their contrast to the rest of the vehicle.

Maybe If you faded or dirtied them a bit more so that they will blend in better with the tank.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll tone it down a bit the bright colours on the stowage.

Cheers
