Here is my latest creation.



You can see more photos of it at Dudley's Scale Models - M60 .

The kit is the first kit I've built from Korean manufacturer Ace. Quality was pretty good with a minimum of flash, decent engraved and raised detail, and good overall parts fit. I painted it with a combination of Testors enamels and Vellajo acrylics. I tried thinning the enamels using automotive acrylic enamel reducer for the first time, and I think it worked wonderfully.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for the nice comments all. 1/72 is getting to be a challenge for me now as well. I am having to wear either an Opti-visor or magnafiers to make the magic happen. Getting old sucks... but the alternative is even worse! skullhead
