- Judge 1
- The photos are a bit over exposed and could be better cropped, the pre-paint photo is also missing. I like the overall scene you’ve created and the missing front fenders are a nice touch but I have to point out a couple of things, you missed a gap on the rear plate, the tracks sit rather strangely and one of the front wheels sits off the ground. I like the colours you’ve chosen they are well applied and the camouflage pattern is well done with some nice streaking, it could be further improved with some additional tonal variation. There is some nice wear and tear for a captured vehicle and the decals are very well applied and blended into the overall finish.

- Construction generally looks good, but one of the front wheels looks to be not touching the ground. The paint finish would benefit from more shading and weathering (perhaps some pin washes for example) and considering the scratches and paint chips it would probably have a little more dust on the vehicle.
- Judge 3
- A striking model with the nice camo & biright Polish markings. most of the construction is OK but there is a gap on the rear panel & the alignment of the front wheels & hooks are abit off also the tracks & track wheels are not lined up correctly. the Basecoat & camo are nicely done,personally I think the camo is abit bright (could just be the photo's) & there is abit of overpainting on the tyres,a light drybrush of a dust colour would have helped remove that.& a migment dusting in the tread of the front tyres too. the decals are fine & the MG are really nicely done as with the chipping ,the whole look of the diorama with the figures are very well done.
