Deviation Actions
Description
"At the start of the offensive, the First and Third U.S. Armies were separated by about 40 km (25 mi). American progress in the south was also restricted to about a kilometer a day. The majority of the German force executed a successful fighting withdrawal and escaped the battle area, although the fuel situation had become so dire that most of the German armor had to be abandoned. On 7 January 1945, Hitler agreed to withdraw all forces from the Ardennes, including the SS Panzer divisions, thus ending all offensive operations. However, considerable fighting went on for another 3 weeks; St. Vith was recaptured by the Americans on 23 January and the last German units participating in the offensive did not return to their start line until 25 January."

That's it. the final tank is now complete and my Tribute build and paint for the Ardennes Assault has come to an end.
this guy was fun to build and paint. I also learned something new with new white wash technique: acrylic colors and 91% rubbing alcohol
Ill share the tip later on.
the original scheme was pretty nice and easy to paint BUT my calculation was way off!!!! BUT....
Screw up you paint? white wash!
dont like the outcome? white wash!
no idea what to paint? white wash!
UGLY? white wash!!!!
white wash, the only term acceptable to say (in the modeling world) that wont land you jail time
the fender was cut out to my liking but also help a ton on fitting the plastic tracks. If you plan on giving him plastic track instead of vinyl, i recommend NOT gluing the fender to the body yet because it will greatly reduce the room that you can work with the plastic track and idle wheels and sproket wheel.
oh there are some minor error that i will fix later on
as always, leave comments below, like, fav and all that shiesse
