weathering looks good, but as I wrote, fix the driver's periscopes, lower the pioneer rack and also replace the soldier. He's wearing leggins and carrying a Thompson, neither of which were not items of issue when the M-41 came out in late 1953. The cal 50 has been pointed out...move the ammo box up to where it's supposed to be. Nice looking job on the weathering.

OOPS...let me back up....looked real close and note he is carrying a BAR. [X(][sm=red_smile.gif] Paint the uniform a bit greener, dremmel off the leggins and give him brown boots and you're in business.

Looks very nice. Seems a bit disproportionate to pick a man up on tiny details of guns, periscopes etc. when, for example, the suspension will always have 4 pseudo-shock absorbers too many (otherwise the 3rd and 4th road wheels on each side wouldn't have suspension at all). It's a toy tank that looks a lot better than it did out of the box.

Looks very good indeed and much better than I've ever managed to do. And although historical accuracy may be of value, I certainly believe it's not essential and posting pics is fun -- as is staging them. With that in mind, here's a snap of my ongoing rendition of the Panzer III VS (very silly) variant.
This almost went into production in late 1941, but was abandoned on the grounds that a real hatch was more protective than an inverted battery cover and that it was counterproductive to have a Brit as a commander.
