This one was finally competed on the 30th, after a long time trying to find parts, decals and references. It's now done; maybe not accurate, but it's done and my British Army has now taken delivery of it. You can see how dusty it is after heading to the field to shoot off all it's ammunition Here it is,my 1/72 scale UM Models British M-10 Achilles: ![](https://modelersalliance.org/galleries/british-achilles-m-10-i-jpg.130841/full) ![](https://modelersalliance.org/galleries/british-achilles-m-10-ii-jpg.130842/full) ![](https://modelersalliance.org/galleries/british-achilles-m-10-iii-jpg.130843/full) Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome!

It definitely looks like it's been on the trail a while. I think you've got that weathering on par. Only thing I can think of is that it lacks any crew equipment and that's just an observation. At this scale that's nothing to complain about lol.
I guess I can only wonder what future plans you might have for this. You did a fine job on this one. Very nice.

Thank you Mike! I'm trying to master Tamiya weathering powders and I'm slowly getting there. Yeah, I tend not to put stowage on my models; getting it all to look right is still a challenge for me. Right now, my plans are to add it to my massive 1/72 scale vehicle collection but someday I'd love to place it on a huge layout display with everything else.

Thank you guys! Here's hoping I can pick up the pace with my vehicles; I'd like to get a few more done.
