From Force of arms, 1/56 scale, wonderful tank, great casting, pretty much what you'd expect from FoA...

That Jack is a dirty old bastard! Jumped right into the mud!

I like it! Nice idea of using those GW decals. The hull is a bit drab (pun intended), but I guess you can only have so much contrast with that tone before it gets awkward.

hehe i always like my vehicles to look like they're in the field,=)

Lot's of good decals for customising tanks on GWs sheets, a real timesaver for stuff like skulls etc :)

You're spot on concerning the color of the hull, imho it very quickly turns into a sort of comic book style painting with more contrasts,,
i prefer "russian green" tanks, they're more forgiving :)
