I'm thinking they just used the   pre shading technique  on  the canopy before adding the main color . IMO it needs a wash to bring out the lines in the canvas, but that's my paint / weather style  Everybody has a different style of painting , shading and washes , the trick is to see past their take on the subject and imagine how it would look with what you would do  to the kit

I'm not talking about the painting, Ripley - I'm referring to the way the hood overhangs the windscreen.  The join between the top and sides is also very prominent.  It's otherwise a great looking kit (few photos show the canopy in use anyway).

Might just be the over head view of the model makes it look weird . As seen in these pictures the tarp does fit a few different ways







Probably all are reproduction tarps , but they should be made from  the  original patterns .Notice some have the roof support bow level with the front window , some have it set higher . Also thinking the plastic  tarp might not be set on model correctly so can be added/removed for picture taking . As it is , I probably wouldn't add the tarp to the first two or three of these I got , need to fill them with Russian troops like my M3A1 halftrack    Just a thought I wonder if the pewter Soviet Tank riders would work in the rear of this thing ? Anybody got them and a M3 halftrack to test fit and see how they look ?
