Hi all,
I think this one can be called finished. It is the Academy kit that I modified to depict a Lebanese tank as of 2008 in Southern Lebanon.
I "blogged" it here
Here are the pictures.

Very nice work- I really like the chipping effect on the hull

Hi Olivier !

Interesting subject you picked there.
First look at the pics gave me a sort of "boring" impression, when I checked your blog things became more detailed and I believe you did a very good job in catching the original. Shame the Lebanise did not use any arabic numbers or letters to "highlight" a little more like on the turret etc.
Nice job !

Cheers
Christopher

Olivier, I can't believe I didn't see the blog for this project- it is very interesting. I think you have really nailed the look of the original in miniature- from the chipping to the hue of the paint it is superbly done. Congrats!

Olivier,

Beautiful job. I too missed the build log on this one. You did some fantastic scratch build details on this kit. Wow.

Thanks for the kind comments. I should pay more attention to the quality of my pictures but I guess I've reached the limits of my camera and my skills too!

Very nice work Olivier. Weathering is spot on!

as already mentioned, the chipping effect looks great. I picked up a few "Blue Steel" ref books last year with intent to build some of those subject. Your tank just reminded me of the interest.

I missed the blog but I'll check it out now.

Again thanks for the comments about the chipping effect.

Olivier

Amazing work! Weathering top! May I ask you what colors have you used to create this green? I think it's spot on and I want replicate it for few models I am doing representing Lebanese army vehicles. Thanks! Jacques

Thank you Jacques. I used Tamiya XF-26 Deep Green.
