Beautiful presentation, build and weathering Francis. The pics/positioning are great, really show off the detail.

Amazing art work, very well done.

That's simply SUPERB Francis.

The weathering is very realistic indeed. I particularly like the lower hull, wheels and suspension with the mud/splashes, not just for the application of techniques, but for your choice of colours as well.

The Patton and the Sheridan have always been my favourite American tanks as subjects as they are packed with lots of details which modellers can get stuck into. There's hardly a flat plain piece of steel anywhere. They do lend themselves to weathering techniques so long as they are not overdone. you've nailed them.

100/100.

You`ve made a good job of that! One of the nicest Italeri kits, still going strong after what? thirty five years? I`ve got one in my stash somewhere!

Thx for your like and kind comment, you're right, still it has a very good level of detail ..., cheers Valenstitch :thumbsup:

Missed this one Francis, wow, you really nailed all aspects of the build and the weathering processes,

The mud effects are really the cherry on the top buddy, well done :)

Thank you very much for your kind comments, I am very pleased that you liked the result.

Cheers Dan :thumbsup:

An excellent model Francis. A great weathering finish and some great photos. I really like the way you've made the detail stick out. My photos are far to dark in places. Well done mate :)
