An early start to this months edition of the tank of the month submission thread. Really looking forward to some more masterpieces. :thumbup:

A quick note, please reserve all comments and suggestions, critiques and reccomendations until after the competition has been decided.

Be descriptive and detail your paints used, electronics gearboxes etc if you want. Maybe some members will use your style and pick up a few pointers along the way!

The submissions will be allowed until the 7th of August.

I enjoy putting this together and want it to be fun and encourage all to enter no matter your skill level. :clap:

The more the merrier they say....

I'll start the ball rolling with my Sd.Kfz 234/2 Puma.
Metal Origins kit, with all the bells and whistles.
Construction and assembly by me. Assistance from Alwyn Turner with the turret rotation and wibblywobbly with the gun controls.
Primed with Halfords red plastic primer. Paints all Tamiya, airbrushed by me. Weathering with a mixture of pains and materials from various sources.
