But, but, but..................  IT'S CANADIAN!  WHY?

Just Kidding, my Canadian customer's I get at work are great.  Despite thejokes Ihaven't metanyone from Canada i didn't take a liking to.

Tank looks good.  I ASSUME the weathering is there but it's subtle.  I hope I can make the camo on my Abrams be more subdued like that is.

Howdy everyone, thanks a lot for looking and sorry for the late response. I've been a little under the weather post surgery, but now i'm feeling better. I did reweather and do the minor touch ups that were recommended, unfortunately I forgot to upload them before i left home for school. The kit is the Hobby Boss kit straight from the box and the paint was done with tamiya nato brown, black and green. Weathering was done with tamiya weathering sticks, and vallejo pigments. The slat wasn't really all that difficult to work with, more time consuming then anything. Thanks again for looking

Nice work! The slat armour does look like a big hassle to get right, kudos!

That's the hobbyboss kit isn't it. I've got it in my stash too. What colours did you use for the camo? Looks awesome by the way.

Nice work on this one Alex. I bet that slat armor was fun to work with!

Pretty nice overall, eh. A couple minor critiques in my view- 1) more dust on top pf the side skirts/hull sides above the tracks behind the slat armor. I am sure that is a PITA area to work, but on real AFVs that is among the filthiest areas where the stuff builds up... it should at least match the front hull top... more on the rear hull corners too, this area gets tons of stuff thrown up there by the tracks as they come up and over the sprockets 2) the front hull items such as the ice cleats and spare tracks are usually painted to match the surrounding camo.

But overall quite nice. Which kit is that?
