M48A1 Patton Tank with External Fuel Rack

Greetings.
This is my latest effort. (Kind of a WIP. I’m not exactly sure if I will put this in a diorama or not, but much more detailing with equipment will come later) It is the Dragon M48A1 (Magach 1 kit). Painted with MIG acrylics (Olive Drab Shadow). Decals are from the spares box. It’s a pretty basic build with minimal weathering like dry brushing, some chipping and Vallejo pigments for dust. The main gun barrel, mantlet cover and drive sprockets are from the DEF Model after-market kit. The fuel rack is designed and printed by my good friend, Fabnevarez. The first couple pics are without the shield, so you can see the hose detail.
