I’ll do it for you:

By the way, a decent job on the Grant. What kit is it?

Nice work, that being your first AFV model. May I suggest Kalmbach publishing’s “Building Realistic Tanks and Artillery” . I have no affiliation w/them or this site – it’s just a good book for beginners looking for the prime areas to focus and improve upon.

Lots of good tips and well illustrated with photos. Good discussion about tools and techniques. I recall that there’s a quick tutorial about what the various general fittings are on and around a tank. Let’s you get a good feel for the form and function of the model components you’re modelling.

Keep the modelling going!

The kit is Tamiya’s 1/35 scale M3 Grant Item number is 35041. Thankyou for the tips.

Nice work. It is not the easiest kit to start on.

Keep up the good work.

Hi David,

Good looking job. A few things I noticed. The fender on the left side has a gap between it and the body. Headlights might use a touch of silver and with the dust on the nose, you might want to add more dust to the running gear and belly.

First armor kit, I’d go [tup] [tup].

Regards,

Joe [:D] [:D]
