Thanks Joe and Boots!😊
I moved on with the pinwash onto the turret and all the stowage. I want to catch extra depth and contrast and I think it looks the way I like it now (more than before).

You still like it, nice chaps!

Scratches, lightly damaged paint (front armor panel, fenders...), it's just a start as I work from front to the rear end of the tank. And when it's done it's the mud, dust and dirt to be added.

Have a nice weekend !
