Tamiya 1/48 M1A2 Abrams

Another one of the bench, love these 1/48 Armour kits from Tamiya. My first ever Desert Camo and i'm happy how it came out. there's a few things I'll alter after seeing the pics in editing and im open any comments or critique

* Tamiya 1/48 M1A2 Abrams
* Primed in Ultimate Black Primer
* Base painted in Tamiya LP-30
* Paint high and low lights done using lighter and darker tones of the base colour
* Raw umber pin washed
* Oil dot filtered with Winsor & Newton oils
* Chiping done with Ak gunmetal via brush and sponge and * Graphite pencil
* Sand and Light Dirt Ultimate Clay washes used on tracks and lower surfaces
* All paints and Ultimate wash sprayed through the Ultimate Apex Airbrush

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?
