Thanks Tom. I should be able to wrap this one up soon.

Looking good, Elvis!

Thank you very muchLyleW wrote:Looking good, Elvis!
So more progress on this over the past few days
First up, off came the circle masks, and on went a gloss coat for decals
Then on went the decals, markings as in GI Blues for tank B-11 from 32nd Armored Regiment, 3rd Armored Division. I used spare decals from various kits to do the markings.
I just need to get the decals sealed in, then I can start final detail painting & weathering

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

Re: Elvis Tank, Dragon M48A1
Still plugging away at my Elvis M48. Lately I had done the detail painting of some stowage items, and added the field cargo packs onto the turret grab rails based on where they are in the movie
my way…
Next up, flat coat and final bits & detail painting, then weathering.

Oh wow, I like that one! The yellow markings are a nice touch and separates it from all the other OD tanks.
