Jacek, everything is looking really good! I'm curious about a couple things, if you could expound for me... are the decals on the water and coke bottle part of a kit? And secondly, are the footprints just a well detailed model or is it a stamp, I've seen those too...and think whichever you've used, it's very effective. As a follow up query, did you use a fixer after to lock the footprints 👣 permanently?

Just curious, if you have time to respond...either way I'm loving the build!

Jacek, please don't apologize for yoir English. Your use of English is better than many native speakers here who have been writing it since they learned to speak it. I am really happy to see your results so far. Your M1 is beautiful and your base shows a keen eye for detail.

Regards,

Eric

Sorry for the late reply Jacek. After seeing the one you showed, it loos to long and narrow. I went with one from the Italeri 5 Ton kit. Also, the one from the Eduard Dragon M1A2 SEP photo etch set looks about right.
