Very nice finish and weathering! Gotta get to the three in progress Shermans I've got going.

One thing you might want to change on your tank: only the upper left oval tail light lens was red. The rest were black. HTH

Can you tell us what color paints you used to get that very nice faded look?
thanks

Base color was ModelMaster Olive Drab (no.4842).
Next I've highlighted centers of armor with base mixed with white and pactra's Dark Earth (A115)

Hi Przemyslaw. Really like the overall finish and weathering. The "Thunderbolt" decal adds a nice contrast to the dark finish, but I think you should take advantage of the rack at the rear, and add some stowage, to give it another lift. Otherwise, excellent model IMO. Thanks for sharing .. great to see both in progress and finished pics ... very clean build!!
