Got it a couple of days ago, Beautifully done. I love this model. THe only problem I have is there is a really visible seam horizontally along the bottom of the turret and Monty's skin is too dark. He looks Indian or African. I am going to drybrush his skin and hopefully lighten him up a little. He goes great opposite Rommel, who was released in the 21C German #5 set. I have several Cold Steel DAK Pz III's and Also Several FOV Matilda,s , All I need Now is Greif. I found a 1/35 model of it at a local hobby store, but It would be cool if someone released a 1/32 die cast model (hint hint 21C or FOV)

didn't Airfix make a 1/32 model of a Grief at one time?

dfoos: I don't mean to be picky, but isn't the new FOV tank an M3 Grant? I think the Lee had a little cupola on top of its main turret with a .30 cal machine gun. Unless FOV released a Lee unbeknownst to me!
Anyone fell free to jump in here. Maybe I've got my signals crossed!

Whoops, Your right, They were Grants in the British Army and Lee in the US army. I got them mixed up.
Anyway, Very nice Model.
Turret Seam

Got to add a ditto on the big ugly turret seam. I don't have a problem with the Dark skinned tanker, actually somewhat appropriate, representing a colonial tropper. My guy has a really dark head with lighter toned hands, that looks peculiar. He's also got this long Giraffe neck and peculiar posture. I did like the holstered Webly though, good touch.
