Thank you very much :wink:

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

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.
