Looks good. I will be finishing mine in a couple weeks (Thanks again Gunnie for the spare part I needed). It is a pretty cool little tanks. I have had fun building it and making a few little changes to it. The best part is the price. It is a great kit to try new stuff out on because you not out much if you screw it up.

That's a very good job TimberW. ! :-)
I'm really liking the M41 more and more...might just make a good break from WWII.

Nice one there, Timberwolf!
I've got mine put together... just need to figure out why my flat-coat turned milky on the turret, and weather the thing and it'll be done! I'd give it about two weeks - minimum

Do you think I should weather it or just leave it alone?

How much experience do you have?
I tried to weather my M60 A2, my first armor model, and destroyed it in the process. It turned out plain ol UGLY! I'd build another model, something cheap, and practice weathering tecniques on that. My two cents worth...

Looks like a very nice job there TW. I just wish I could enlarge the thumbnails so I could take a better look! The paint job looks excellent.

Tread.

BTW, if you want to weather it, go ahead, just take it slow. Or, do what Gunnie tends to do, just weather it a wee bit.

If I uploaded all the enlarged images, the website would crash. Because im only allowed to upload 1 or 2 MB a day But in a few days all the enlarged versions will be avatible

only weather it a wee bit


Good idea!

I think that depends on what you want from the whole experience. If it looks like you want it to then put it on the shelf, no need to fix what ain't broken. On the other hand if your dying to try something new or add a little bit more then go ahead. You have done a great job so far so don't push yourself into something you really don't want to do, but at the same time don't be affraid to do some more if you feel thats what needs to be done.

I think I managed to stay right on the middle of the fence on that one . I guess I could have saved a bunch of typing and said "do what you want". But what fun is that?
