Sticking around for this one, looking forwards to next update(s)

That's some great "heavy metal" happening there!!

Probably not the best tank ever to be designed, but that does look like a highly detailed kit which will more than make up for its real life short commings.o_O

Thanks guys, Steve if mine looks half as good as that one I will be happy,

Gavin I agree it is not the best tank around and I had no interest in it really but I was sold by Mengs artwork if I am honest and now I am glad I did,

Looking good Steve, any issues with the kit so far?

Looking good Steve, any issues with the kit so far?

Thank you sir, the only things that I found were more flash on some parts than I expected, the instructions not always as clear with the positioning of some parts, so careful study advised but no real issues, a very detailed kit.

That's looking really good so far can't wait tosee the paint.

Thanks guys, I will be happier when I have tidied up the brown.

So spent a few days painting the tracks and tyres, to day I fit them to the model and ye did the fun begin! needless to say when assembling the tracks for this one do not follow the instructions and build 80 each run, do at least 83 or 84, the tracks were almost rubber band tight, great for rubber band tracks, not so great for delicate workable tracks! anyway I controlled the bin it moment and got it done,
