No not this guy. After 16 years of on again, off again (mostly off again) work. I finally finished AFV Club's Stuart. The model is not overly complicated and builds into a nice little kit. There are no real problems to report, which were not of my own making (lost parts, rolled off the desktop and shattered, etc.). I painted this with Tamiya base coats and Vallejo for all of the details. Weathering is pretty simple - mostly a vandyke brown oil pinwash, and lots of drybrushing with acrylics. A bit of pencil led hear and there, and just a touch of raw sienna pigments on the lower half to accent the drybrushing where needed. Markings are for the 1st Spahi regiment of the Free French Army in 1944. I still don't quite have the hang for painting fabric, but I guess I'm getting better each time I try. But for the first time, I'm very pleased with the metallic effects on the guns A few pictures of the M3A3 with its M3A1 stablemate. The latter is from the Tamiya kit I finished around 2019 I think. I think I'll build my Academy Stuart next.

Dear all, My first armour model on Britmodeller, I'm normally more at home in the aircraft section 🙂 This is the 1:72 S-model M3A3 Stuart in the colours of the French Army, as it was advancing north from the Provence in August 1944. The S-Model kit is a 'Quick-Build' kit that comes with two sets of sprues in the box, complemented with a small etch fret. An easy build that will allow you to focus on the painting and weathering. I added a few details from wire and complemented the model with a (slightly modified) 3D printed US tanker from ReedOak. The decals are from Braille Scale. Enjoy! Peter

Well I enjoyed posting my first ever tank WIP with the Tamiya MkIV Male, even if the finished result wasn't quite good enough to go into Ready for Inspection. Having enjoyed building my first complete kit for years, I have been inspired to try something completely different, in the form of Meng's super detailed cavalry Bradley.
