Yeah, big improvement to the MG. The handholds and ammo belt are an enormous upgrade. Yes

Yay Pawel!! 

Now WHERE is a dancing taco emoji when you need one?  Your build has inspired me to dust off the one sitting in the "to-do" pile!

Hello everybody!

Thanks a lot for your kind words - they mean a lot to me!

Rob - yeah, and then you'll tell me to rename Ho Chi Minh City back again :-)

Real G - glad I did! On this one I left out some stuff on the undercarriage and concentrated on things everybody sees and this helped to have it done in three months, that's a record tempo for me.

Thanks again and have a nice day

Great job Pawel. The weathering, equipment and figures really makes it into a great looking tank. I like that you made it into an ARVN tank.

This kit looks fantastic!  Your construction, painting, & weathering were done on a whole different level for this "vintage"kit.  After seeing this kit no one should dismiss these "classic" kits anymore.  Well done

Another brillliant success. Every time you do a build I find myself shaking my head in awe at some of the details on the little things. That sledge for example. The delicate shading of colors on the head and that perfectly worn OD handle. Priceless.

A number Army Viet Nam scans from hundreds yet to be done:

I mean it looks like it was a part of the action in Hue City during the Tet Offensive.

Glenn - thanks a lot for your kind words, they mean a lot to me! Doing those little details only makes sense when you know somebody will be watching as closely as you do!

Rob - yeah, I know, I'm only making some silly jokes here... You know, Saigon -> Ho Chi Minh City

Have a nice day
