Re-Vamped. Ugliest stripper girl ever... It took me about an hour to get so far; the AK paint stripper is quite mild (= lame 🙂 ). Ok, it was pretty thick enamel colour, maybe it's more speedy on thin airbrushed acrylics.

There are several possibilities to set up the tow cables. I liked this one better than the outward solution.

Thanks, Dave! I spent and evening for constructing the wire basket and another for the machine gun mount. After Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black the black panther is back in life as a leopard with a first coat of AK RC 087 Gelboliv late.

The FN MAG C6 was borrowed from Dragon's Challenger II kit, the mount is scratch built.

I did shoot that thing, but for the most just dragging it around for infantry tactics ??

Nice work at such a tiny scale... looks just like what I remember, with the exception that we had faded low visibility national markings on the turret of or training tanks. The baskets and discharge banks are great and I love the C6 mount.?
