Nice, Sal!
I just wrapped up my 1976 Italeri Tank Cracker. I call it "The Rime of the Ancient Marder":



A pretty shabby kit by today's standards, and not my best effort ever, but passable.

Very nice work, Sal, and very passable, Mark!

Thanks, Sal. Unfortunately 1/1 life disrupted the timing of the hairspray and whitewash camo so it came out much more blotchy than I wanted.

Mark, thank you very much. When I posted my pictures, I was looking at your white wash, thinking that it looked better than mine. Haha

Cool white wash Dustin!
I took my start pic awhile back but it's only now that I got to start on the build:





They say it's a baby Panther. Well it's short, chubby -- am starting to get the feeling I'm building an egg tank!
Cheers,
