US ARMY M6OA2 MEDIUM TANK

this was my second model build. the only difficulty I had was with the basket contraptions that wrap around the rear part of the turret. getting the very thin pieces of the frame over , under around and through the proper places was a real challenge along with getting the smoke extractor in place. I broke some of the railings but what the heck it's not perfect but I did get it finished. overall it was a good build. I'm 67 years old and semi retired and my hands shake just enough to make things harder than they should be. I haven't progressed to the point of using an air gun yet so I hand paint. started painting the tank olive green and didn't like the brush strokes. I happened to have a can of modern desert sand so I sprayed the whole thing that color. the spray leaves a much, much better finish. I know this tank never came close to any desert but it's my model and I'm proud of it. next is an a 10 wart hog. wish me luck.
