Thanks Mike but it is not as good as it looks. You will note that it's all straight lines & small ones at that.

I have closed up the hatches & added viewing slit, lamps etc.

The next stage is to apply the sand colour to the camo & try to tone down those silver tracks.

Still can't find any soldier type figures. I might pose the crew figures having a conflab.

More pics when significant progress has been made.

Looks fine to me OT...one smart looking tank (if a bit small!)

Not much happening of late, been a bit ill.

But I got some paint on & then started adding small stuff.

Will try to get the tracks on tomorrow.

I do like a bit of wear'n'tear on my AFV's (listen to me - sounds like I do loads

)

It could do with some stowage too, tanks always seem to be covered in tarps & loot.

AndrewR had some good tarps in one of his Kettenkrad builds.. think it was the big Secret Santa one..

Sorry Mike, I completed this the other evening but forgot to post picture. I got distracted blitzing a Spitfire & planning the next three.
You can never have too many.

Anyway, here is a quick pic.

Glamour shots to follow when I get a chance.

Looks great, a diorama or even just a shot in the garden might look pretty awesome
