I quite like the result of elephant in last week. But not many interested in AFV in nowadays HK modelling. This week still at WWII, but shift to allied side, a US artillery tractor: M4 high Speed Tractor. I keep it in simple green tone plus some rusting. However this kit doesn't anything to fill up the back stowage. Those wheels, fuel tank, water tank are remained parts from previous kits. 2023 年第四十作 (累計上色成品第 三 三 三 號) 入櫃了。
