Hi Pete, Nice work indeed. You say you haven't any British decals, but I assume you know about Elite Armour's range:

Very nice little tank, well done. Regarding the decals i am not sure how well the Allied tanks had their signs and numbers painted on but the German ones in all the photos look as done on the field and they are not perfect. In my case i opted for hand-painting the signs rather than use the decals for a more realistic look.
