                        Thank you Templar. 1/72 is indeed a challenging scale to work in.

                        Super clean build and paint. From the detail pictures, I wouldn't know that it's a braille scale tank. Well done

                        Weathering is spot on Stik, really like the effect along the bottom of the skirts. It looks like its just be driving along the tracks on Salisbury Plain. Perfect.

                        Sprue and Bish, thank you for your kind feedback. It was fun to venture into a scale where I normally do not work. And also good to know that I got the weathering right for their training area. Especially from a guy who I am pretty sure is quite familiar with that place...

                        Hi,

                        Very nice blog and very well executes build.

                        Agree with the SprueOne, with the level of detail it is difficult to see that this is actually 1/72.

                        Thank you for sharing!

                        Svenne
