I consider the model eventually finished. My idea is to have a rather dusty but quite new tank without rust or damage.

I paint exhaust pipes mixing basic green and brown colors to depict heat effect. What do you think about?

This kit was a great pleasure to built, I havn't enjoy a model like this one for a while, a last until I finished the Rolls Royce, and I dream to display it waiting on the Dorset coast, along with some Beaverette...

Mighty beast

of an AFV you have built, it has come out really well, and setting it up with a Rolls Royce and Beaverette would be an interesting display.

Very nice

Hi Gillies,

Good work, it's an ugly beast but an important stage in tank development. Thanks for sharing you've done a grand job.
