Anything that restricts main gun traverse is a bad idea on patrol - I vote no junk. Pile it on fenders and glacis, or hang it on the basket instead.
Looks like no junk in the trunk then as I want to do a nice base for this model in a road patrol, convoy escort setting. Thanks all!
The Model B is in primer and I got a start on the Takom tracks, planning to use them on the Magach. They go together fairly nicely, but I’m three hours into them and have 53 links assembled. Whew.

Really like that stowage … looks very realistic as per the images
Wow! That Model B really looks loaded now that everything is one color. Good luck with those tracks!
The primer pebbled pretty bad, my fault entirely, so after going over the bad areas with a worn-out Scotchbrite pad I put some Vallejo US OD on, from the rattle can. That was followed with a wash of Vallejo olive green, then I blocked in the major other colors and sealed it with clear flat.

I’m poring over pics of tanks with sandbags added now to get a feel for their color. Unfortunately the few color pics I have don’t really show them well so I’ll probably go for a raw burlap look. That’s why they’re brown now.
Our Hessian ones lose their colour and fade pretty quick when they are full and just left out in the elements for prolonged periods … It’s looking super good though Russ
Working on the sandbags, doing some other detail painting. It’s coming along but will never grace a contest table, that’s for sure.

I think you are selling yourself a bit short there Russ. Its looking great … and the sand bag colour variations and shading/shadows are really good … nothing wrong with those or the build itself
Russ if it comes out like any of your other builds, it deserves to be on a contest table.
