2nd attempt at the skirt weathering, wasn't too sure if I had got it quite right?

Missing side skirt brackets are on and weathered

I think I have this kit in my arsenal of unopened models. It was such a good tank in real life that it is a must build for me.

me too, plus the accurate armour conversion. after watching the vids i got them out and had a good look through making vroom vroom noises in my head, THAT SOUND!!

Yep definitely the screaming signature, i will also never forget the sound of a Chieftain pack exploding at 5 Armd Wksps and demolishing the pack test bay in 1979 ish. Yep it definitely sounded like a bomb going off, luckily no one was hurt only casualty was a Lance Jack becoming a Craftsman two weeks later for leaving it unattended on test and letting it run away. :-)

The wet and dry look of the filth is very impressive on the skirts.
