Description: The model is OTB with little scratchbuilt. I used Humrol and Revell paints.

Judge 1: Great model! Very well builded with good added elements. I love coloration and weathering; only lower hull and tracks are too clean. Outstanding the weathering and in particular the chipping phase with tons of tone variation, scratch, spots and natural metal.
Judge 2: I was very impressed with this model when I open the photo's,Lovely rich camo colours & amazing scratches!(Almost to much!) The lower hull,suspension & wheels are too clean & need dust pigments the muzzle brake looks a little clean too. some wheel rims have some black over paint from the tyres. Lastly the decal 'K's don't seem to have adhered to your model either. Great overall look of this model.
Judge 3: A well built model with an excellent paint finish. The basic colours and camouflage have been very well applied and the paint chips and scratches are very well done (perfectly in-scale). The only missing element is some dust and / or mud on the lower hull and wheels in particular as they are very clean whilst the rest of the model is heavily worn and scratched. Also a slight sag over the return rollers would look good (this is more personal preference!)
