| Finally got around to painting my Mato M36. It's based on a preserved & operational M36 on display in the UK named "Easy Tiger". After painting with metal primer and acrylics, I applied the decals & decked it out with some accessories and figures. Decals/transfers/lettering are a mix of Heng Long, Archer, Woodland Scenics & DGS Military hobby (thanks Dean!) and were sealed off with dull coat. The tank came from Matomart with T74 tracks, as I requested based on feedback from MikeC (thanks Mike!). It has a Clark TK22 board which I programmed to turn off the track recoil, so it's now barrel recoil only. A few pics, hope you enjoy:      The inspiration for my M36, a shot of "Easy Tiger" on display in the UK: From: https://images.beastsofwar.com/2018/10/80694205-easy-tiger-m36.jpg Pics of what it looked like before painting are available on my prior post at: https://can-amrctankclub.canadian-forum.com/t2929-mato-m36-jackson

| That's some pretty nice detailing work. Almost a shame to get it dirty on the battlefield. |

Thanks, Knispel! Guess I'll just have to consider it as "field weathering". |
