Well done, sir. Is dirt, around the lower half of the turret common? I know I always add it, but can't think of why.

It's where the turret crew kicks the dirt off their shoes before climbing inside.

Hi gentlemen,

Thank you all again for the kind comments!
Matt, I can't think of an area on a tank that doesn't receive dirt! But usually, I like restrained weathering rather than throwing all my weathering techniques over a model, unless needed for a Dio!

Cheers,

Maher
