M3 Lee by Bernie Dietrich

 

Bernie built Tamiya's 1974 boxing of the M-3 Lee out-of-the-box and reported it went together well despite the age of the kit. Vallejo paints and washes were used exclusively with AK desert pigments used to weather this vehicle of D Company, 3-67 Armored Regiment, 2nd Armored Division, 1942 North Africa. He had one of those "expletive deleted" moments when he realized he'd weathered the model before adding the decals. Panic stricken, he didn't think through the situation and immediately applied the kit decals. Naturally, they silvered badly so he plans to remove them, apply dry transfers, and touch up the weathering. Live and learn.
