Weel, it's dirty now, done except for figs and stowage if I decide to add any. Lots of fun here, maybe a Pershing as an Israeli what-if next?

The pics:

Thanks for looking, as always. Also, thanks for all the feedback on this build, it's been very helpful.

Well, not only have you made it cool but it looks real good as well. Everytime I look at this project I get a silly grin that make people look at me funny.

 

Regards,

Mark

Nuthin' but fun! My goal was to refresh, and I think I was successful. I have a TigerB to do for a GB, starting in Sept, and I'm on vacation for the next couple of weeks, so I should be really ready to get back at it.

Thanks, all.

It looks like you had fun with it and that's what counts the most! Nice job on the outcome...it's definitely an attention-grabber. Yes

Nice!!! That thing looks really awesome, like something you'd see the main character driving in some over-the-top action flick! And even though the tank is kind of fiction, the weathering and finish make it real in my mind. A+

OMG, the things you must see in your dreams to come up with that!  There are pills for that you know.

But in the mean time... sweet.

Thanks, all. I've been traveling and away from the web (by choice, keeps me in vacation mode) so please excuse my late response.

I have decided to do at least one IDF What-if for every two or three "real" builds for the next few months, just to keep it fun. Others may not be so involved as this one, but hopefully at least as fun.
