If you mess up the model at an early stage, it’s possible to try to make a lot of interesting things with it. So this vehicle was born. I don’t know why I pasted the decals by which it was immediately clear that they were all bad, and why at least I didn’t cut them? But I got my first dirty tank, as I wasn’t afraid to spoil those decals. I watched some videos on YouTube, read the articles, took two pastel chalks and the result is in front of you.

Among the improvements of the model there are drilled peepholes, I replaced the machine guns, machine gun in the tower is assembled from various parts, the rope is made. The tank model kit itself is not very brilliant, plastic is fragile, the caterpillars are simply hell, probably the worst ones during my practice in modeling. It seems they are not from this tank at all.

I tried to portray a model that was crawling in jungles and swamps for a long time, what turned out is for you to judge.
