Very heavy metal at the moment. Will keep the colour scheme as a surprise for the moment. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Dkznk72/D3-DBED92-CE73-4700-ADD0-654-A65229-F69.jpg) Bloody broken front light ![](https://i.ibb.co/c6YgXZd/1-C0701-EB-A879-4-A22-8-CFD-CD0-B090-FBB4-F.jpg)

Looks very good Tommy ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) . The only thing I can see, that might be frowned upon, are the two apertures left and right of the mantlet. The right hand would be open, this is for the co-ax MG, the left hand one is for the gun-sight. If you can, just paint them black but only the inner part. That should make them look more realistic.

It's a winner already, no matter the result of the competition.
