Sort of inspired by a well known photograph, this is my 'homage'.

This is so nice.....I have to get my hands at one of these….unfortunately they were sold out everywhere.

Great weathering and snow effects!

Cheers from Bavaria / Germany

I have been considering ordering this model from Rubicon USA, and I consider no more, after seeing this splendid rendition of an iconic armored fighting vehicle. Wonderful work. If you don't mind me asking what paint, by color and brand, did you use for the red primer?

Hi Stuart, IIRC. it was actually a Vallejo Model Colour, Red Leather I think...

Noted, thank you. The red primer gives the model that added touch of realism.

No problem. Hope you enjoy your build as much as I enjoyed mine. It's a lovely kit.

I am looking forward to building the kit. Looks like those link and link tracks won't be a problem. Normally I dread them, but the instructions appear to have really simplified assembly.
