My first Takom model kit - built out of the box - weathered lightly - awesome model kit!

Good work. Nice to see different nationalities modeled for a change.

I almost always model my tanks and IFVs after out of the norm countries - going to do an Iranian War M47 next...

Ted,
Very nice job! I juast bought this kit yesterday. Considering doing the Pakistani version. All the other possible camo patterns look great, too so I'm still undecided.

I agree. I love seeing subjects in different markings than the country of origin. Good job BTW.

I did the Pakistan one b/c of the box art I must admit. Also the real tank saw limited service in the war so weathering was able to be kept to a minimum. My 2nd choice was the Jordanian one...

Thanks for all the nice comments - it was a fun build and even more fun to paint/weather.
