Dragon 1/35 Sexton II - 90th Field Regiment Royal Artillery

Post by Gav0909 »

So it's finally done. This very nearly became a shelf queen, but I found some mojo today and got her finished.

Enjoy!

I present "FEE", 465 Battery, F Troop, 90th Field Regiment Royal Artillery, Normandy 1944.

I like this a lot. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, you could try adding some stowage and then I think it would really come to life!!!!!!!!!

Robopaul - I considered it, but I didn't have anything suitable to use. I still plan on adding some kind of crew to it in the future, and so once I do that I may add some more stowage onto the rear deck etc.

But this was as much as I could do with the time I had.

Mike - Cheers, I am pleased with the overall paintwork now.
