1/35 Academy M3 A1 in Russian Service.

[gerry7944]

This is the Academy 1/35 M3A1 kit which I have built as one lend leased to the Soviets during WW2.

I have used Tamiya and Vallejo paints on this one and the figure is Tamiya.

The only downside to this kit is that the decals are not very good and no matter how hard I tried I could not get rid of the silvering.

Cheers

You've done it again! I love all your builds!! Keep it up!
P.S I always thought the M3A1 Stuart was a cute little tank LOL

Thanks for that.

Much appreciated.

Cute but with a sting.

That's a terrific build! Really nice worn-paint effects around the edges. A question though Gerry, how did you achieve the stain effects around the fuel fillers? That adds quite a bit to the realism.

Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment.

Much appreciated.

The fuel stains are from the AK Interactive range which are Enamel based but work well with acrylics.
