Very nice build Tomi! it is nice to see another build of this kit, there aren't too many around, it is very interesting to see without the fenders, and with the MG stowed. I think your weathering job is very well done.

Thank guys. I wanted to make this look like combat veteran as plain green museum piece would have been too boring.

Your shell hit is very convincing. How did you make it so believable?

Thanks. First I made impact crater with dremel tool, then I smeared small amount of Magic sculpt in it so that I was able to build some edges of molten metal. Then, after painting the model, I used graphite for bare metal and some dark brown oils for finishing touch.
