Dragon 1/35 M46, Operation Ripper, Korea 1951
Re: Dragon 1/35 M46, Operation Ripper, Korea 1951
A true masterpiece! Man, oh man, that looks good.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Now look what Santa Carlos brought us. A Christmas Tank!
Build, painting, wathering. Everything's executed on a high level. Since retirement you've made quite a step, Carlos!

Thank you Torben. Like Styx sang, “too much time on my hands”
For some reason, probably family due to my cousins and father, I have more personal blood connection with that era than WWII, so I wanted to get this just right.

That is a superb looking build Carlos, You've nailed the painting and weathering - not at all over done. The stowage looks great too

No worries Mike. You had a pretty busy life while I was building this.

That is as nice a build of that kit as I have ever seen. SKILLZ.
I love next level stuff as we all do. As was said, get this thing on a base and in context and hooboy!

Thank you Bob. And I will be doing a base for this, along with a commander figure.
