outstanding work you've done there, can you tell me more about the model, what was it like to build?

Kirill, fantastic work! I have this kit, it is the one with all the extras including bottles and crates etc. I’m very interested in the paint you used to achieve the effect and especially what color you used to achieve the highlighted lighter brighter green effect on the upper surfaces. Best, Bill

Very nicely done, I see that it represents a Canadian tank which is also a nice touch that I can appreciate.

Great weathering and overall effects. I like the use of all the filters and dust layers, very effective. Fantastic work.

Hello! Immediately apologize for the slow response, a little free time = (
Thanks to the administration for uploading my photos. (By the way, I don’t understand whether I participate in the competition or not, do not swear, but there are some difficulties in translation)

Thank you for evaluating the model, David. I can only say one thing about models - it is excellent! Very similar to the model of the company Tamiya, only more highly detailed, details spilled just filigree. I would like to see more etching in the kit, as some parts are still better not to be made of plastic (For example, I took fences for headlights from the Dragon kit.)

Thanks for the review Jacob. For me, every job is an experiment. So this time I did not make trucks as usual. It turned out well, but I wanted them to look a little different.

Hail Bill! I am glad that I liked my model and thanks for the rating! I used Lifecolor paint for painting, the Olive drab themed set. Honestly, the paint is very specific in work, I still prefer to work with paint from Tamiya. Shades always disturb the approximate, the main thing that I liked and fit under those in the photo.
You can see detailed numbers of colors in my clip about this model on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwKJ8PtBlYgFaGstoZ3CF4A

Thank you for rating Frank! Regarding the Canadian tank - it was the coolest decals from the set ... and I just could not help using them.

Scott, thanks for evaluating the model. I'm glad you liked the color and effects that I tried to portray. Of course, it turned out imperfectly, but I will continue to work. Moreover, this model goes to the diorama.
