Yes- Tamiya Decals are a P-I-T-A. The main reason why I just stopped using kit decals. Did they name their tank after a dude?

Some washes on the stowage and upper hull and also some dry brushing with some light pale sand, plus a bit of weathering inside although you can`t see naff all when the top bits fitted............unfortunatly my work bench is right next to a window and it kinda washes the effect away in the pics...........hopefully it looks a bit different from the previous glossy pics, finished off the last couple of decs for the magazine tins and the stowage bin with the strap hanging down..........that was fun fettling that into place!!, thank heavens for a nice new No11 blade

Particularly the tarp on the rear end of the turret!
