I disagree with your assessment that painting/weathering aren’t your strong suit! Given the subject/era, I think you’ve accomplished both admirably!

Why are you not satisfied with the Camouflage? Was it a soft-edged one?

Honcho,
No, it was a hard edge scheme, but that’s only based on the Takom instructions and box art. I couldn’t find a photo of the actual tank.

Im comfortable doing soft edge schemes with my airbrush, but my initial attempt using putty to give a hard edge didn’t work. I ended up using a brush and Vallejo paints to add the light green and black stripes over the 4BO base coat. When I tried to do some post shading, I ended up bleeding over the hard edges in some places. I redid places with a brush again, but the whole process was messy.
