Brian EberleAnother of your builds that I like a lot. The finish on the camouflage is smart looking! Oil paints for weathering?

Rui SAnother beauty from a great 1/35 collection 👍
If I may say. Imho, i would give a mate clear coat on the sand bags.😎

James CThanks Brian, Rui and Acki,
@ Brian - Yes, after applying Tamiya dark brown panel liner to all the raised details, I hit it with MiG oil brushes. Mostly "Dark Brown" and "Earth" tones.
@ Rui - Yeah it could probably do with another flat clear coat all over, as I see the turret has a bit too much reflection on it as well.

Rui S@Jim C, I Think metal always reflect a bit, even if painted with mat colours, but fabric for sandbags or litter doesn't, so one material would be more mate than the other. Just my two cent...😢 Anyway, I think the weathering in the tank is beautifully done. 👍

Album info
Another oldie from Tamiya.
For something different, I decided to do this one as an Australian training unit based in Narrabri NSW, Australia in 1942.
Decals were sourced from my much more recent Takom kit (#2086) which I will build as a British 8th Army unit shortly.
Completed March 2020
