About kit.

Everything is fine. All neatly and accurately cast. Fit in perfectly. Added chain, pickaxe, shovel and replaced the mirror on the civilian version. I did a civilian version of the machine that works in the American heartland.

Painting.

The model as always was painted with acrylic paint, tinted oil paints and MIG pigments.

    Your Diamond T is excellent, however a military version will be much appreciated.

      Thank you Avenger ! , for us it was more interesting this time to use it in a civilian role, not very common in our scale, and the four Diamond T versions released by IBG can be used so. Sorry you was looking for a military version !! But for sure most of modellers will built so, soon you will find it 😉
      Civilian topics bring you the opportunity to work with a different palette ! give them a try 😉
      Cheers !
