Gentlemen,

It's my second entry in this campaign. Old but still good Revell dressed up with Eduard PE and some home made details. This model depicts vehicle from polish 5th Inf Div just before moving from Iraq to Italy. I decided to use non official light mud/red brown camo pattern. There's no evidence that it was used on trucks but some polish Shermans and Staghounds were painted in such camo. Unfortunately washes has darkened base colour and now it's too grey in my opinion.
Any comments will be appreciated

original vehicle:


and my truck:

I do not think it is too grey either. You have done a superb job.

Just one little thing to note. The clear windscreen wiper mark on the windscreen is too triangular. The clear part should only be the width of the wiper blade itself and not the whole length of the wiper arm as well.

Another real nice entry to the campaign.

Cheers
Cliff

Guys thanks for your kind words
I knew that something is wrong with wiper marks but didn't noticed wrong shape. One more thing is length of wipers - they are slight too long.
