Gav

Post by Gav »

Hi all,
The name’s Gav, from Australia.
Been modelling long time but only recently started into modeling tanks.
I’ve recently modeled a heng long Challenger 2 tank, but made it a fictional “Australian” version, just because I could.
Hope to bump into more aussies here.
Cheers.

I see photos here and in the "Show Off" section. Yes! What a great weathering job! As a "what if," I'd say, "why not?"
