Cracking build, lovely detail and weight for a 1/48 kit

That's another cracking result mate - I really need to give those 1/48 armour kits a go.

I don't know how weathered up modern armour stuff gets in the desert theatres compared to the WWII kit which got really beaten up but that looks really effective to me - just out of interest what were you thinking of doing differently?
