canadian Sherman V

[FusMR]

Here is a few pics of my canadian Sherman V in progress.I use Aber PE detail set.I also scratchbuit the radio and some other parts in the turret interior. At this stage the first part of the weathering is done. It will be part of a dio showing a canadian tank with troops in the city of Falaise 1944. It is the Dragon kit of the M4A4, now discontinued. More later... :)

Thank you guys for the comments. Gordy, the technic i use to wheather the marking is simple. First i put the decals on the model with micro-sol. Than, after 5 min of setting, i put some testor liquid cement on the decals: THIS HAVE TO BE DONE IN ONE STROKE OF THE BRUSHE!! If not , you will completely ruin the decal. The cement will "dissolve" the decal who will looklike "paint" on the vehicle.After that, the usual wheathering (wash,drybrush,dust)is applied over. I'm really satisfied with this technic.
thanks again,
luc
