Thanks Mark - it's a fun little kit to be sure!

I've got the rest of the parts of the turret installed.

Well done. Infidel.

So I've got the paint on the M1 ready for decals. Alas my paint reacted with the spray clear I put over it and pickled...

Image

I rubbed it back and repainted, and hit it with some enamel gloss. I'll cover all of the rough areas with 'mud'.

Image

I've also been work on an old Matchbox 1/76 Challanger. I've just finished the turret.

Image

My gun's bigger than yours!

Cheers!

Great fix! Mud can heal a number of issues....
