Not bad at all, not bad at all. Really like the camo and the weathering.

Definitely lighter on the frites with these. The Dodge was chip-free in fact  ;)

Everything about it is delightful.  :-*

Any particular reason for naming ‘her’ Cher?

 Lovey paintjobs on the H39 & Tanake, just the right amount of weathering :)

Lovely work but for the sake of history, if you are going to name a tank Cher, you really should pose a crew figure straddling the gun barrel.

Because a lot of plastic work has gone into it?  ;D

I'll let myself out..
Tank looks good though.

Thanks Steve.
It’s just one of several tank names that came on the decal sheet from Rubicon :)
I’m going to call the next one ‘Sonny’ ;)

Truthfully, from photos of the period, the names on tanks didn’t look particularly well sign written. Not in a nice neat typeface like this at any rate. But you get the idea...

I also realise, that the little nub next to the main cannon is probably meant to be the tip of a machine gun, so i’d better go back and paint it black! Doh.  ::)
