Hi Ralph.
Looks to be a solid build. I'm guessing that the missing vehicle number on the right side is to show wear. If so, I think you need to show how the number came to be in that condition ( scratch, rubbed or worn off etc.).
Upper portion looks too clean for the undercarrige.
The standing figure might need some touch up on the eyes. Has that "blank stare" look.
Over all a nice job, just a few touches here and there to improve it a bit. I'd go .
Joe,

Thanks! Actually, the decal got ruined during the process :-) :-) :-) I dunno how to rework it anymore.

Hi Ralph.

Your M20 overall looks excellent. love the weathering effects you achieved on the wheels.

The one thing that I think takes away from the look of the model is the antenna's I just checked my reference book (squadron U.S. Armored Cars) and I couldn't find any bent out of shape like that.

They are shown either standing straight up or pulled back in an arch held there by wires tied to the back of the vehicle. have you considered using very small gutair strings or a fine copper wire to use as antenna's.

btw I'm not saying there are no photo's of a M20's antenna's bent like that, just that I havn't seen any.

also isn't the Academy U.S. MG set a nice little kit in itself.. I am using one to replace a kit gun myself at the moment..

Thanks Delbert.

The wires were made out of stretched sprue. I dunno why, but at some point, they curled like that. Oh well.
