Looking very nice Steve. I might have to have a look at some of these 1/48 armour kits....
Great job on the weathering but I cant help thinking that it will be a bugger to put the markings on now. I normally do them right after paint before any washes/filters,
Once weathered I (sometimes) 'wash' the markings off a bit to look like an attempt to keep them clean....

Nice little big car build.

Ta,


No markings going on now. Couldn't find any reference shots with the markings i had available  so just muddied up where they would be,plus quite a few WWII photos show these cars without markings. Since applying the dirt i was sent a link to a pile of photos and one showed a vehicle with a NW Europe  British 3rd Division formation sign, which is on the Universal Carrier decal sheet :|  . Will have to see how high it sits on the front mudguard  :S
