this is the tamiya kit and what a lovely kit it is, the drum, bucket and jerry can are from the tamiya set the barbed wire is verlinder and the tarps were scratched, it was painted using mm acrylics and weathered with oils. had a lot of fun with this one. all comments are welcome and thanks for looking.

Very nice model of one of my all-time favorite Armored Cars. You rendered a nice finish overall.

Great work Ron
Ive built Tamiya's M8 and I agree they are great kits , I do intend to buy the M20 someday
Your M20 is very nicely weathered and the timbers attached to the hull look great.
BTW where did the roll of barbed wire come from , aftermarket or homemade ?
