I can't imagine picking a better subject for my first tank build. The kit is great and the painting was very straight forward. You can find the build thread here.

Looks wonderful! i love the neat painting of the tools and the fact that you didn't weather the vehicle all that much which is a nice touch and is something a little bit different. Congratulations on the great build and i am probably going to get one for myself!

Thanks guys! I didn't go very dirty, but I do like the variations in the olive. It was achieved mostly with dark brown panel liner. I also mixed up some Ab. 502 oils to get close to the shade of green and applied those in some places. Smoke in others and a little dry brushing with a color they call dust. I focused much of the oil work on the decals as they looks very out of place being stark white.
