Thanks fellas, Marco, yes I love the JGSDF colours that's why I seem to build a lot of them. Guy, the wheels are well worth the price I think especially when you compare them to the bland kit ones. We'll never one to sit on my laurels as it where and with the matt curing very quickly I decided to carefully finish off a few bits. So the side indicators & reflectors all have a couple of coats of tamiya clear orange & the exhaust staining was enhanced with a bit of soot pigments. The .50 cal was then finished off and the gunners sight housing fixed in place. All the periscopes then went in and I made up a gunnery flag using some plastic rod and tamiya tape. This was sprayed tamiya park green & the wooden pole painted using vallejo iraqi sand & new wood. With the figures test fitted the turret looks very good indeed. I will now leave well alone for a while and sit on my hands!     |

Very realistic weathering Pete. You can see that you have access to similar full size vehicles to guide you  |

Came back to admire this a second time, I LOVE IT. The green flag is a simple yet very effective colourful touch.

The subtle detailing around panels and rivets, let alone the figures really brings this to life 👍👍
