Default Michael's Comet...

So here is my friend Michael's Comet that he had me paint while he plays with some electronic issues I had on a couple of my vehicles... He didn't want this one too weathered so just some paint touch up, light dusting on upper, road dirt on the wheels and extreme lower, light chips and scratches and some black pen lining. Doesn't sound like much but still took about 25-30 hours!

Very impressive work on the Comet, a real credit to you. Your friend should be well pleased with the result.

I assume that is a post war Brit tank?
Very nice. Don't know the tank, but it looks like it would be a big seller if HL or Tiagen were to produce one. Its a good looking tank.
Nice job.

Thanks for the comments guys. Basically got on the continent in time to take part in the Berlin Victory Parade. You can see them running in the parade video.
