Tamiya kit, 1/35 scale~ :) My second armor, my second OD and my first Mediterranean theatre work~ :love: Errr....Finally "done" after almost a year. ^^; (* I got this kit June 6, 2005. :XD:)

Same methods as my first work. ^^ The kit was older than me (*1978 :omg:) so there were a lot of flash and missing details, extreme sanding and improvisations remedied the situation. :D I thought I'd go all out on the dusting since the tank operated in the desert. :nod:

The replacement cupola M1919 .30 Browning MG with the accompanying tripod and ammunition boxes came from Academy's US Machine Gun Set. :heart: The other stowage options were given to my by :hug:

Markings depict tank 2, C company, 1st Battalion, 13th Armored Regiment of the 1st U.S. Armored Division in Tunisia, 1942. My first time working with decals so please forgive the silverings.:blush: (*and chipped ID band. :XD:) About the tracks, yes I know the links are all in the wrong places but it did come with the kit (*and it was made of vinyl) so there was nothing I can do about it...^^; And I cannot afford those expensive aftermarket replacement tracks. :no:

Thanks loads as usual to for the pics~~ :thanks: :handshake:

I prefer the Shermans and the Grants. Bigger, but more bang for your buck. :) Very nice work though. I could never paint any. I have about 50 unpainted world war planes and tanks and ships in my wardrobe.
