@Francis_GL, the amount of weathering is, in my opinion, appropriate. Personally, I tend to muck my vehicles up a great deal but it depends on what circumstances I envision it operating in. I know there were some rainy weeks during the Battle of France when one could expect these things to be splattered with mud but by and large, most of the knocked out vehicles I’ve seen during the Battle of France look quite clean other than dust.
Thank you for posting the photo of applying the bogeys. It does not look as intimidating as I thought it would be. Having built many Tigers and T-34s and Shermans, I have taking an interest in the French tanks and have started collecting the kits. That will be my next focus when I finally start building models again. After seeing this model of yours, I want one.
Thank you again for showing more pictures. It should be fine to post a link.
