It’s funny how these models sometimes fight you all the way to completion. This was one of those models. I built one body only to find out how many mistakes I made and started over. I must have made 7 turrets before I found a design I was happy with. The paint is close but not exact. In real life, this model looks pretty good. Up close, it looks still a little rough. I am happy with the $3 investment for as many of these vehicles as I can build. I will be building two more for the 11th Hussars. No Caunter scheme. Just desert yellow.
Looking a little rough up close. One thing I will do is line wheels with a dark gray pen from now on.
Looks better from the rear but the black on the wheels really shows, errors and all

Normally about 4-5 hours. This was a difficult model and with the custom turret, nothing was fast. I’ve probably invested about 8-10 hours in this model. I will probably build the other 2 side by side. I suspect about 6 hours.
Looks good, John! How long does it take you to build one?

That’s a labor of love then, for sure!
