Tried to duplicate an abandoned vehicle now used as a clothes line.
Upper hull Italeri, lower Dragon with Academy T23 turret. Tried paint chipping to have Israeli Grey-Sand show through the Ugandan Green. A batch of M1s were supplied to Uganda by Israel, most abandoned or destroyed latter when Idi- Amin was deposed.
Did I capture the look of a long abandoned tank
Thanx for looking

It looks good, but it is a little difficult to see the fine details as the pictures are a bit blurry.
Funny subject none the less

Looks quite like the real one HERE

Though the marks on the real one may not be paint chipping

Dave, that is exactly the picture I based the build on.

Doug, I somehow thought somehow it might be as soon as I saw the pic.

The chipping on the original looks more than a little like guano
