I'd quite like one of these (I have a few different kits in 1/700 scale), so will be keeping an eye on this build. Very good start so far!

That's amazing! Good work on the snorkel as well. That's really neat.

That's amazing! The Walrus looks as if it's a much larger scale. Your Rodbox will look brilliant when she's finished.

No worries. Well, from what I remember the tank was *very* pale. It almost looked white in some cases. I'd send you a pic, but I don't have them with me at the moment. What's already been said above regards the colour is probably spot on. Regards dust...it's *everywhere* in Cairo, and from what I remember in the Sinai if anything is moving around then it will get dusty, so the tracks should have a light dusting on them I'd say because it's not mud, so wouldn't cling. On our vehicles there was a light dusting. They still managed to kind of look clean at the same time. So I would say it would be the same with the tank. There's always a difference between what your eyes see and camera captures, but I'd say this pic is pretty much spot on regards the shade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M4A4-AMX-13-latrun-2.jpg

Well, at least one of these survived because it's in the war museum in the Citadel in Cairo, but I think you've done a great job with the model itself. Very interesting subject.
