Asuka M4A3E2 Heavy

Good Evening, Greg Very nice clean build, the Browning .50 cal is full on, what with the carry handle on the barrel, good choice of the two options. Also cool with this kit is that it comes with three options for the main gun barrel and I like the one you went with. When you have time would like to know more about the paint, weathering, etc. Asuka was thinking when they supplied the weathered ID Star for the side of the turret. Overall, a great looking kit, thanks for sharing!!! Catch Ya, Logan

Mr. Logan...I hope you are well and had a good holiday season. This kit was an interesting build. Mostly went together well and the choice of guns was outstanding, MG and main gun wise. The paint used on this was Mission Models US Army olive drab. I was a bit skeptical about the colour originally thinking it wasn't green enough. But research showed it was pretty close. I did some light spots with Mission Models US Army olive drab faded 2. Hard to tell in the shop but it is there. I went on the light side weathering wise outside of the lower front hull. There is some streaking with oils on turret side and vertical hull sides for petrol and dust. But the earlier mentioned doubts about colour and displeasure with road wheels (should have glue them...) sorta discouraged me from going deeper. Having said that, my thought on the 'minimalist' effect was that the vehicle just had the gun changed out to the 76mm for the late war push across the Rhine and into Germany which led to it getting a bit cleaned up. Weak I know but the fight with the perfectionist was lopsided.
