Here is another kit that was in progress for almost two years. This kit was supposed to be for the Africa Operations Group Build last year. Life got in the way and never had a chance to finish it till recently.
Kit was built OOB other then Archer dry transfers for the Afrika Corps markings. I did hairspray chipping for the first time and I’m impressed with how it came out.





I still need to finish the tank commander to put in the hatch. The tow cable that should go on the rear went missing much to my annoyance.

Looks really good! Are you going to add water cans and/or more stowage?

Fantastic job!!! The weathering looks perfect, not too heavy but there.

Well done, I like the North Africa campaign.

Thank you stik. The plan was to add stowage but I’d really grown to dislike the build and wanted to get it off the shelf. If I would have added stowage to the mix it probably wouldn’t have been finished.

Thank you, Gamera and Rob.

Now that I understand completely.

Great build! I’m curious however about your not liking the build. I have this kit on my shelf and would appreciate any comments that you have.

Thank you!

Very nice,I like the chipping and wear.Dragon has a great Mark IV family,maybe a little over engineered,but still great.I got this one sitting in the stash,you gave me some inspiration.

I certainly understand losing enthusiasm for a build and wanting to make it go away without really making it “go away”. Looks like you did the kit justice though, very nice finish.
