Thanks Matt, and I did indeed find Flikr. It seems to be a little more cumbersome to use, but is fast, fast and fast.

Finished pics. I only found antennae mounted on a few tanks in pics, so I left it off, then added tow cables and some dirt, brightened up the track guide teeth and am calling this one done. I've thrown in a couple of pics on my generic European base, and old Verlinden part.
Thanks to all who gave feedback, it helps!

Nice job on this, like the base you have it on. Try and take your pics with the camera pointing away from the glare, so it directing the light at your model.

Thanks gents.
Peter, I'm guilty of trying for background drama, the sun was directly overhead, or a touch to the east, when I took these pics. Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind next time.

That does look nice.
Tamiya made some good stuff, do not care what they say.

Cheers

Thanks gents.
Agreed about Tamiya, if you want to get into painting and weathering a kit without maga-hours of build first, and/or enjoy trouble-free building, the new(er) Tamiya kits are the bomb. I just started the HobbyBoss Merk 3D and it's close, but not the same.
