I’ve always liked the lines of the M48. The rounded curves of the hull, turret, and cupola give it the best lines of the Patton family to my eye. Sort of like if a tortoise was turned into a tank.
As far as my figure painting goes, it’s the faces…

Carlos this is one outstanding model! I too love the M48 series of tanks; it's got to be one of my top three favorite tanks. This is so sensational!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Mark and Steve, thank you.
Mark, I really love the whole Patton family, but the 48 has to be my favorite variant of them. It just looks mean.
Steve, the 48 is indeed a beautiful beast!

Okay, so I know I'm a month late in commenting, apologies, but man Carlos that looks awesome - the painting and finish look superb, the weather is nice and subtle and I really like what you did with the stowage.
