Thanks very much mate, although I think you'll find that I rarely do anything quietly. 😄
The kits are just a bit of a sideshow at the moment as I'm working on another scratch project. 🙂

In the instructions Tamiya have shown the wrong colour for this option. It should be the pale greeny colour rather than the pale blue they suggest.

Hi Joshua, I always use Tamiya acrylic and I think the paints I used for the Caunter scheme are XF-14, XF-22 and XF-57 - not exact, but close enough for me. There is a link to the build report in the main description if you are interested.

Tamiya decals have the reputation of being a bit on the thick side, and the ones in this kit are very thick. Having said that, I'm useless with decals. Other people don't seem to have had a problem.

I just sprayed on the red/white rectangles rather than use those decals.

Nice Tilda' excellent interpretation of the Western Desert and Iceland? Santorini? Lanzarote? It seems the areas of operation was vast. 🤘🥸👍🥸🤟

Album info
When I was young (I'm sure there must have been a time) I wasn't fussed about tanks. They pretty much all looked the same to me.
And then I met Matilda, Airfix Matilda, to give her full name, and it was love at first sight.
She's all grown up now – 1/48 (!) and changed her name to Tamiya, but she's still the same sweet Matilda, although a lot less flash than she was in her youth.
It was a brief only six days of my life, but six days I will never forget –well... not until the end of next week anyway.
Thanks for looking. 👍
