Nice and clean build job. The surface of the turret is very good! I like the damaged wheels and the additional MG as well. The camo is very unique, perhaps it's not the best camo fo a competiton model, as it looks realy strange. But you painted it very good, and there's that crazy green too, well done. I like your weathering a lot. The dust, and the oils, very good! At first sight it's an avarage model, with some strange paintwork, but after seeing all the pictures, it's a realy nice model, with a unique, but well painted camo, and a beautiful weathering. I like it a lot!

This is a mini master piece, one of the most realistic models I've seen in any scale. The camouflage is simply, as has already been mentioned, stunning and quite realistic; you must have painted it with a 1 hair brush or hired some very small painters! The build is faultless and the many additions you've made are absolutely first class. Exceptional work.

This is really nicely done. I can find no technical faults with this model at all. There are so many interesting features to this model which draw the attention of the viewer, from the different road wheels, to the subtle stains on the fuel drums, to the oddity of seeing a 50 cal mounted on a T-34. It all makes this quite an eye catching piece. My only preference would have been to see a technique used for weathering the "road" side of the tracks that would have given them a bit more depth, but that's nit picking to say the least. Nicely done!!
