British 'Male' tank

It's a great little 1:76 scale kit from Airfix, which I believe has been around for a long time.
Detail is good for the scale and nice and sharp. No fit issues and no flash etc. At least not on the tank.
The 'tail' however was a different matter. Mold lines, flash and injection marks abound!
Completely box stock apart from the side decals. They were from my spares decals stash which I thought looked appropriate as the kit only comes with the HMLS Dragonfly decal. (Which is somewhat controversial I believe!)
Base paint was Tamiya Khaki over white primer to give it more of a 'sand' colour. Weathered with AK Interactive products. The tracks received AK Interactive track Wash and when dry I ground up some pencil graphite, dipped my finger in it and smeared it across the tank 'treads', to replicate the real deal.
