Thank you John and Mr Bix :)

Nice to have some colour on a tank! My last three have been single colours!

Excellent job, Adam. Learned a new expression to 'express' it. I'm chuffed with it. Very, very nice.

"I'm chuffed with it." That's a new one for this Yankee, too. Is that a UK expression?

Decals/markings…

Decal set didn’t work amazingly so I pulled off the decals and freehand painted some markings… hope they are passable :)

First wash applied and red oxide to the chipped off zimmerit areas.

Markings are great. Free handed, impressive! I was wondering how to pull that off with zim.
