I finally finished my M-48A5 for the OBG campaign. It is in Norwegian colors and portrait one of 4 tanks which were operational in the early 90s, just before they were taken out of service. I wanted to picture the tank on a plt. exercise, so it got blanks for the machineguns, crew stowage and camo nets partly covering the turret. It was fairly easy to build a Norwegian version. I added rubber mudflaps, AFV tracks, new smoke dischargers, mesh in the bustle rack, MG-3s, and scratchbuilt crew stowage. The terrible Academy gun mantlet was rebuilt to a more correct version. Painted in acrylics and weathered with oils. Here are some pictures

Erik,

It turned out very nicely. Well done on the splinter camouflage pattern.
