It's looking really good!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Looks very good, and yes, to have the turret turned "the otherway around" really makes it special.
I love the paintwork!

Tom, Clint, Kari, & Mike, thank you for the compliments.
Kari, as I’m sure your aware, the reversed turret is standard for motor pool parking and looks more natural with the engine access grills opened up for routine maintenance. In all my years of building tanks, I’ve never modeled one in this particular look, so it’s a nice change up.

Yeah, I love that reversed turret look - it looks brilliant.
Superb work thus far Carlos!

Haven't peeked in on this one in a while and I'm glad I did. What a great job so far on this one. These tanks have such an aggressive look to them.

Thanks guys.
Stuart, the reversed turret is common on most post war tanks during motor pool parking storage or rail travel for space saving due to the long guns. Yet modelers rarely depict the look. So it is a bit different.
Joe, it is indeed an aggressive looking tank. I never really appreciated the lines of it until I got into this project, and truly noticed the family evolutionary changes compared to the M46. It certainly has a bit of early Cold War look.

Fabulous textures and execution, Carlos. Much more than simply recreating accurately the design of the tank, you have created the reality of its seams, contours and appendages (?); the stance, and the appearance of readiness!Stikpusher wrote:And the decals are now on! Not that many, even if some are a bit large and gaudy.
These Star Decals are a bit thick and matt in finish. It’s taken a few doses of Solvaset to get the larger ones to conform to the texturing.

Looking great. And the motor pool parking is great - something a bit different.
Thanks,
