Afternoon chaps.
I pressed on with getting the running gear painted, weathered and installed.
I've also decided to get the tracks fitted before adding the guards, just too much potential to knock them off even with fruils. Unfortunately I ran out of pins (I like to use .53 mil dress making pins) so I only managed to get one whole run done, and a third of the other. I've ordered more pins so will finish the tracks off when they arrive.
I wanted to get on with something else so turned my attention to the turret. The internal detail is sparse but as I'm planning on leaving the hatches open I painted and weathered anyway. The kit didn't come with any ammo for the racks, but I had some shells left over from another build so used those. They are much smaller than the correct ammo, but should give the impression if anyone looks in a hatch.
Once the turret halves were together I applied the zimmerit and PE to the exterior.
And I've also started working on some of the other PE bits.
