Another one of my batch of Tamiya 1/48 kits I bought at a model show.

I wanted to make it somehow unique, and luckily, I had some historical photos showing these tanks covered in thick field-applied concrete armor. Americans often paid attention to their field modifications, and in the case of concrete armor, it was often painted to match the rest of the tank. Yet I still wish I left it in its raw concrete color! It would add so much contrast and texture to this model.
