I just went through all four pages of this since the M-48 is my all-time favorite tank. What a phenomenal job you've done making this look so realistic. I also enjoyed "Tank Sergeant" and really tried to dirty up a few of my 1/72 scale M-48's as well. They don't look nearly as good as this spectacular model though. Way to go!

Thanks you for the kind words Maddog.

Oh I'm sure yours can give this a run. I think I'm starting to get the way of the pigment.

Weathered up the track not once but twice :facepalm

First time around

Second try

I would have been happy with any of them.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Played with the road wheels, I put some pigment in the damaged rubber of the wheels. Just does not look right to me. :hmmm

I installed the track and screwed the hull to a base. What do you guys think of the gloss black for a base?

Still more to do but getting close. hyeah

Best thing I've seen you do, Jeff. Looks like a lot of 'soul' in this one.

[SA Dave]

As happy as a pig in mud I see

 

[Sherman 18]

Thanks guys!

Hoping for a finish soon :drinks

 

[Sherman 18]

Thinking this might be the last post on this redo :drinks Took a bunch of pictures before remembering to add the antennas :facepalm

Weathered the gear/equipment with red dust.

Added a fuel spill, loaded the open fender box with junk and chain

Finished the commander, and I need to work on painting figures as he is number 2 done in almost 20 years. But he in there and the hole is filled! :pp

Should be in Dallas :drinks

Maybe a loader will appear :idonno

I'm going to stick-by what I said last week, Jeff. To my eye, the best finished model of yours, probably by some distance too !!

One for the top-shelf of the cabinet, friend.

Ian.
