My latest and quite proud, second one I have used an airbrush on and I think its turned out quite well, also used proper colours and Tamiya painted. Not done any major modifications just- working hatches through out, metal 4-1 gearboxes and metal drive sprocket and idler. Few little bits here and there like opening up vision ports and adding tow hooks and chains. Hope you like it!

Sponge,
For initial use of an air brush, you have done amazingly well. This tank looks great with all of the detailing and shadowing. Beautiful work, Sir!
regards,
Painless

Very nice!

I think on a P3/P4 metal tracks are worthwhile upgrade, the plastic ones can be a bit fragile.
