Beautiful build, Luc.

I believe I have seen the picture you are basing this model on. Awesome to have tank crew with life jackets.

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

I totally agree with the comments above. Very convincing. One remark to the base: you created track marks longer that the position of the tank. Might have been a bit more realistic if the tank would have stood at the end of the tracks.
The life vests are a cool idea and the painting of the faces is awesome. Great capture of skincolour.
Excellent Model!

I meant why the jackets? They're in a tank, not in a boat- they would probably not get too close to deep water.

Excellent build and finish. It is nice to see a t-54 and the crew in lifejackets adds a nice splash of color.
