Hi Pete
Nice to have you back. Hope you're feeling better.
Nice work. Lots of parts in the kit - most of them appear to be wheels!! Those holes in the track look a pain.

Hi Jim I'm feeling a lot better thank you it's just nice to be home again, yeah you're right there's is a lot of wheels and one big gun not really much to this one just about my level I think.
As for the tracks they are pants luckily you don't see much of them because of the skirt on the tank hull.
Pete.

As other's have said welcome back! Looks like an interesting build. The gun looks very long in proportion to the hull and turret, can only imagine that makes it tricky to move around in relatively confined spaces!!

Good to see you back at it.
That is some great work you have done there. Loving the welds detailing. And that is one big gun.

Cheers Andrew there were two barrel options 155mm 52 Caliber which is shorter and the 155mm 39 Caliber which is the one I've built.

Taking it easy you said !
Well good for you, nothing like getting stuck back in.
Like the way you get your handles to look so neat Pete. I always end up with bad bends and twists !

Thank you kindly gents very kind of you to say so, can I just point out I built this before I went into hospital I think some people think I've built it this week I know I want some strong drugs but they're not that good.
Pete.

Great work pete , ive always liked the look of these beasties , very purposeful ! Looks like a very nicely detailed kit , boosted by your scratched additions , although as you say , the tracks could be better but theres not much of them seen so it will be fine . Top work mate , keep at it , cheers tony
