that's all that matters isn't it!!!

I really like your baggage!!! it looks so realistic!!

Yeah, at half the price of an ordinary Tamiya 1/35 kit, I'll go for it anytime of the day. He-he-he.

I think I learned a good trick about them baggage for this build. Using tinfoil for straps as well as not applying a wash on them. I just painted them dark khaki and drybrushed with dark yellow. The instructions never showed that the straps were to be painted brown but I figured it will look better with an accent.

Looks great. Great detailing.

Dwight, outstanding job and I like the accessories. The devil is in the details, all that useless garbage of jerrycans, buckets, ration boxes and sleeping bags.

I don't know how I've missed this particular thread so far, but better late than never! Dwight, it looks fantastic! Great job.

Shermanfirefly/Monster Zero /DJ: Thanks for the nice words. I appreciate it very much.

Thanks guys.

That's very nice, Dwight!. You've done a great job.
I also like your "First Look, First Kill" banner.

PS. I saved both your pictures & banner.

Just awesome Dwight! I really like how it finally turned out after you left it marinated for too long.Lol
I'm itching to start mine but I still have a stuart and a 1/72 panther (finally trying this, just curious at how small these kits are. Almost getting cross eyed) pending. Your work on this tank will surely be an inspiration. Looking forward to seeing more of your works.
