Boots, cheers muchly mushty . Sorry about the crap weather though . John, thank you also ole chap . Those pics you have shown I also have, those vehicles though are early 55's and even T54's. I did manage to find one picture of a 55 that might just fit the scene . Well then the Tamiya primer being a bloody good piece of kit, was dry after a couple of hours . So I just sprayed a semi-gloss black mix, of Tamiya XF-1 and X-22 on to the tank as a base coat. I must say I am proud of that replacement 12.7 barrel .

Ian cheers mucker . Don't ask how I did that, 'cause I don't know . Vallejo paint can do weird things sometimes, and this time it was in a good way . Guy, muchly appreciated my dear neighbour-bro

So, after colouring the tracks with a dirty paint mix, Mig Track Wash a dry brush with steel and a rub with graphite on the inner surface, I added the outer road wheels. Unfortunately Italeri have the spacings wrong, but I am gonna have to live with that. The MG got a very light rub with graphite powder, nothing else will be done on that.

Some great work again Paul !! Black Primer and the Green, I will have to try that one.
Paul, it doesn't matter the scale, you still deliver your Magic !!! I wonder what you would do with a tiny Panzer 38(t) in 1:16th ....

Great work Paul.
Against the PanzerArt box you can really tell how small it is.

That Braille scale barrel is mind blowing Paul. I said it before and I'll say it again, I have to remember this is 1/72!
