I've just finished my Abrams using the Dragon kit and Eduard PE-parts. There are some mistakes but I hope you like it anyway.
Please let me know what you think about it!
Thanks,
Philip

Your SEP looks good, but you need to take some pictures with sunlight, since the flash is washing out some of the colors and adding funny shadows.

I don't want to seem picky, but you might want to add silvering to the sides of the Track guide horns, since they rub on the insides of the road wheels for more realism (picture from Prime Portal). If you already have, then it's just not showing in the pics.


Great work! Keep it up!

Thank you Jeff! I have drybrushed the tracks with silver but unfortunately it's "gone" after the weathering...

Regards,
Philip

If you can get to the guide horns, you can "retouch" them with a graphite pencil (soft lead).

Try taking the photos during the day but in the shade, say under a tree or side of a building and see if more detail & colors show up better. Direct sunlight still washes out the color.
