I'm calling this one finished. I've not added all the little bits that go in the stowage or even the anti-tank launcher on the side. This one is a stripped bare kind of build. I've made some mistakes along the way and done things in the wrong order, but hey ho. The decals have silvered which is strange as i used a gloss varnish before i placed them. Maybe i needed two coats. But it is Tamiya decals after all. Not the best out there. Not sure about the European mud pigment. Looks a bit too pink for my liking. It's still looking ok though as it's only my second ever armour build (and yes i know a mirror is missing.... call it battle damage lol).

Please indulge me just two more pictures. I just had to see what it would look like :)

Dang Skippy, that's a beautiful finish Alan!!! It's looks great on your dio base and fits right in place. Mud looks ok to my eyes too. If I may suggest one thing Sir, please tie the spare roadwheel on with something. It does look odd just hanging on air...

Prost

That is well nice Al.
Those decals, how are they finished/sealed.
A great build and that camouflage is excellent.
As for the European mud. Red iron rich clay, if I recall my high school geography.
