Lookin nice and green. :thumbup: But your post title is a bit misleading. When does the weathering start? I look forward to some down and dirty tank mucky, muck, muck...

After taking off the holiday weekend, weathering began in earnest yesterday.

-cast texturing of the turret, mantlet, and glacis slope (I think it came out better than w/ my Sherman).
-dirtied up the road wheels
-went for a dust look so I mixed some pigments and did some dabbing
-weathered the 2 storage boxes (not sure if I like them; I might remove them)
-drilled a hole for the coax machine gun in the mantlet

I am in contact with ECA to order some "fixes".
And HL acc. pack was missing 1 spure so they are on their way.

Progress but not complete. See the pix. So far so good.

Yesterday
added fender stiffeners to the rear panels
added tarp pin rails to the turret and mantlet
removed the offending portside fire extinguisher "box"

Today is a golf day. Too nice out.
