Really strange that you are building this now as just the other week I was showing No.1 son my incomplete M-60A1 and the Verlinden Blazer conversion kit I have had since the early 90s.

It's funny that I never noticed the broken English on Academy boxes before. 'Plentiful of machine gun and mount?' 'Include...wodden boxes?'  :-\

In any case, it looks good so far.

at this point...............paint is on, its a bit light cos it was all i had thats vaguely close and i hope once i get a brownish wash on it will look better...had a go at this preshading malarky, never got on with it in the past but since this is a light colour over all i thought id have another crack at it...its had a good coat of Kleer ready for the wash and the decals applied

currently doing the boring job of doing the road wheels

so me and swmbo have had a few days away which has given the oil wash a chance to dry off although it dosnt seem that noticable in the pics, given it a coat of matt varnish to dull it all down too

planning on a pigment wash to mucky up the road wheels a bit

tracks next, which aint my favorite thing

calling this done

it all suddenly came together

used one of those Tamiya weathering kits to add some black soot to the rear of the engine vents, could have done with a little more i think.....added some sand pigment to the tracks and road wheels to dirty them up a little

added bits and bobs to the bustle

knocked up a base with a sheet of polystyrene packaging, loads of pva then sprinkled with sand, didnt get the effect i was after so ended up paining with some cheapo poster paint....plan is to use this for the Panzer II as well
