Hi finished all the priming, got the wheels finished sorry I picked up the shaky hairy stick by mistake so it's a bit messy.

I've been struggling to find any extra detailed to add to this one but I found a good walk around so I'm going back and try and add some more detail to the hull and turret.
Thank you for looking in.
Pete.

Pete,
If it is not there - make it. It is these small additions that take it from just another model into a 'have you seen this' model. Now really starting to enjoy your build.
