Some better pics, I went super-light on the shipping as this was my 1st attempt. i also added the hatch AFTER I did the fot filter...does it show? :facepalm
SO I have a bit more to do. I have some fo that mud that has grass in it, will use just a small bit of that, plus mud streaks and splatters are yet to come. You can also get a glimpse of my tank commander, which is not well-done. Boy, does he need work!

Looks good, nice and grimy.

Thanks! My crummy 'puter only loads a few pics at a time, so it took quite awhile to get these posted! I still have a ways to go, but it is looking very good, and closing in on the finish, IMHO
Beats me why the pics are so pink on the skin, they look better than that. Not a whole lot better...but better

Hi there.
Is this the kit you used? It says "Last production".
Also, regarding the COMBAT tracks. Does Academy give you enough roadwheels if you use COMBAT tracks instead of the kit transport tracks? My understanding is that there was an extra roadwheel on the outside ofevery second wheel.
Thanks and cheers.

Hmmmm....I have to check this and come back to you - I will do so today! Maybe, but I do not recall extra roadwheels, as I used the Hobbyboss aftermarket tracks. i may use the kit transport tracks as spares on a ew turret mounting, but did not intend to have may of them on there anyway.
Nearly done on this, BTW!

OK so this is where it stands. The figure is not glued to the tank, as I am not satissfied with it yet. But I would like to know two things:
1-whaddaya think?
2-will tracks added to the turret sides improve or take away from this model at this point?
NOTE: PICS ARE HORRIBLE! Sun is down, so I have to wait until the weekend to show it in proper light, but it is veru-very close to finished. I think I may be at that

OK I am for now calling this guy done! I decided to not add the track links for now, and I am not satisfied with the guy so will go back and ginve the kit a "Proper" figure when I have one with better detail but for mow this works!
Fun kit, well worth the time!
Will shoot some more pics later, after daylight

That's cool, need to make a base to conform to the way the tracks pull. Make it look natural. I'm one to talk about making a base.
