Beautiful work and photos, Carlos!
Make more models!

Sorry I missed your last update. This is really looking good. I could imaging a few dozen of these coming at you all painted up would be a scary sight.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Bruce and Clint, Thank you.
Clint, I imagine that the appearance of these tanks definitely had some visual shock effect when they were up close to the Chicoms.

That's one of those super annoying Dragon instruction hickups. But even Takom had one of that caliber in their Jagdtiger papers. But I'm sure some touchups with softener and a smooth brush will it all make disappeare.
Looking great so far!

The decal solvent did as much as possible with the contours. It’s just gonna take careful paint touch up to make it right. The two tow hooks took a bit of conforming in spite of the cuts in the decal.

In between the touch up work on the mouth decal, I also started painting the TC figure. Base colors on now using Vallejo for the flesh and Humbrol Enamels for the uniform....plus some other acrylics on the boots and gloves.
I’m going to redo the wool neck scarf because I don’t like how the mixed color turned out... too green... not olive brown like the wool of that era.

Catching up on this build Carlos! Sorry about the "blurb" on the tools and mouth decal interference but it looks like you've done a great job on this one so far. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this figure.
