Male tanks had cannon and female tanks had machine guns, one for bunkers and one for infantry support.

This is quite nice! Never had this diorama. Have the Germans and the Americans. Many battles with them. Have the tanks now, still haven’t built them.

definitely an awesome start, and really cool using the old school included paints! the tank camo is definitely the strongest bit you did. if you wanted to get more bang for your buck painting wise, and still spend roughly the same time, thinning your paints out a bit and doing more layers, thinner at a time, and using some cheap washs to brint out details. also doing a base coat over everything with a black spray can, its quick and east, and if you miss any spots while hand painting, itll be a fake shadow. youve done great, awesome to see the old school airfix boxs... not seen them in a long time.

Thank you for the tip re painting, I always thought multiple layers took much longer, but having tried Speed paints recently on Fantasy figures I have seen the error of my ways 🤣

@@cerealmad one thing you can do is pur em by moving air, fan, etc. time between layees shouldnt be too bad. but dont take that to mean this isnt cool either. theres something to be said about limiting your materials and making something cool regardless.

Realy liked the tanks, great work there. Personally, I would have used the green on the Germans, possibly with a beige or pale brown helmetcover, the English in Khaki or mudbrown and the French in the blue you gave the germans. Other than that, great work on the tanks and the buildings.

Think you are right re Germans. I went with the colour based on the packet front and the advice from the local model shop - felt a bit too blue though. Hey ho, better than just plastic though 🤣

Thank you. Focus will always be mainly cereal, but I will do occasional updates on my Airfix and other figures - didnt realise there would be so much interest 😊
