Just outstanding, and by hand. Waiting to see how you do your tracks.

Really sharp job there! 

And good idea on the paint mule, I've gotten to use them more and move lately.

Wow!  The camo pattern looks great!  I look forward to seeing your weathering on this next.

Thanks guys. I'm having too much fun with the "mule", and it's been a good way to clar out a long-term shelf queen. Truth be told, the M47 sat in the stash for quite a while itself.

A little more progress, M41 pretty far along, totally fictional of course, but fun still. Detail painting moving along on both, washes mostly done. I have to say the various stowage items from DEF are very nice, and should be really fun to paint up.

M41 first, then M47:

That’s a nice pair between the M47 and M41. The only M41’s I ever saw in MERDC were “gate guards” or in front of tank unit HQs. But they look sharp in camo.

Thanks guys. I guess the ROK pattern does look like MERDC. I have a good diagram of an M60A2 in MERDC, may try an -A1 (or -A3?) in that scheme next.

And some progress:

Lots of detail painting done, washes finished, tracks and wheels on. I still need to do some highlighting, add the antenna, and whatever other bits I've missed but not noticed yet. What's next is on my mind....

Just a wee bit...

The MERDC patterns for most  US vehicles can be found online. The Greeks also use a very similar pattern.
