Now you have to get a large piece of black velvet for a backdrop and you would be all set.

Or a photo booth, with LED lighting etc, but I'm too much of a cheap bastard to go to that sort of expense. Plus I don't take it seriously enough to warrant it😉

I guess that was a "challenge accepted" scenario 🙂

Looks excellent in desert finish, lots of cool fine details with the grilles and I really like how you treated the barrel 👍

Slavo, James is an expert in highlighting and weathering with oils. Never overdone, always subtle and always revealing the details. I don't know how he does it, but the results speak for themselves

Thanks Slavo & Lode 😳

This is one of my older builds. But I was doing a bit of binge watching on youtube from the Tank Museum in the UK and thought the short clips were really interesting and would go well with some of my previous build albums. I'm still undecided on how to paint the 2S35 Koalitsiya

Album info

Currently, still the only Challenger 1 Mk.III kit availble in 1/35 scale.
The Friul tracks were wasted on this kit as they are mostly hidden behind the side skirts and armour plating. They do add some nice weight to the finished model though.
