Chapter 10 - Small details again

It's funny how the eye is drawn to small details on models. As usual with most US WW2 subjects, the crew stowed their gear on the external racks, decks and grab handles. I added rucksacks, a few bedrolls, some boxes and some spare machine gun ammo boxes to various logical positions on the T26E4. I put down an Archer Transfers air recognition panel onto the middle part of the engine deck (the rearmost panels blew air out from the engine compartment so it didn't make sense to tie the panel down there). I dropped a few Mission Models empty .50 calibre MG cartridges along the left side as if the MG had been recently fired.

I painted the left rear upper lamp lens with Tamiya Clear Red paint -- the other rear lamp lenses were black. MV replacement lenses were used for the front headlights.
