Nice work. Well I guess you have to have small hands to do something as small as that. LOL. My only suggestion is try to lighten up the color of the figures' uniforms to set them apart from the vehicle. You may achieve that by some drybrushing with a lighter shade of OD.

Nice work with such a ropey model t. I know the problems with this kit I built one a couple of months ago. I must say I was given the kit...I found the whole thing a bit of a disaster...the parts dont fit well the detail is not very good and the moulding is a nightmare...all in all a fairly average Airfix kit. Well done in such a presentable model just proves you can make a silk purse from a sows ear, well worth your GB Badge. As for mine I gave up with the standard build and ended up making the little german tank hunter out of it with the addition of some scratch built 88mm Rockets. At least it has an interesting paint scheme.

I like it. Looks great. I have one to build as well, but I'll be using the gun to kitbash an M3 Halftrack used by the Israelis. Keep up the great work!

I think Dwight pointed out the thing that could be changed. Different colours, faded uniforms, and all that set models apart, giving them more visual punch!

That Airfix kit brings me back down memory lane... Thanks, T3488g
