Nice finish but it is not a FINNISH tank ... you are opting for an all green version, the Fins only used green [which is much different then this hue should be a forest green colour] as an intermediate time between 41 and 43, I doubt this version made it in that period or maybe the first prototypes were. The only available fotos of this beast during the end of war in action, has a 3 tone hard edge camo which was green, brown and a greyish ochre. The gun was all painted including the muzzlebreak [not sure your idea of darker colour]!
People are getting confused as the only one still available at the Parola Museum is painted in light green, that was done after the war when they changed everything back to a pea green inc everything in the museum and exposed to the elements changed radically ... but that is a museum piece and not correct for WW2.
NB these tnks did not see much action and were not in a sorry state so chipping and weathering minimal ... they only challenged tanks when teh soviets attacked the country by end of the war.
Issa jidependi x'behisbhekk tibni ... museum piece or WW2!
