The markings are from Star Decals (35-C 1251) for an ARVN M41 of the 11th ARC, Dong Ha in April 1972.  I wonder if it is a gate guard somewhere or scrapped or still on duty with the NVA.  Who knows?  April 1972 was three years from the end of the war, so it may not have even made it that far.

My plan is to use Flory Wash from the UK on this model.  I had some success with Flory Wash on a 1/48th scale Sherman, so I have high hopes for it here.  It is a clay based wash with easy water cleanup.

Weathering will commence as soon as I post this entry.

Thanks for dropping by.
