I'm particularly looking forward to reading your thoughts on this one and watching your progress. It certainly looks to have plenty detail about it.

Thank you. Refinement of the model is the middle stage of the "degradation"ย of the personality involved in modeling. (the penultimate stage is the conversion to another model and the last one is assembly from scratch).

My progress usually depends on what I will be unhappy with when assembling.๐Ÿ™‚

The object is interesting, currently collecting photos.

Thank you James. Very gentle casting, better than Takom but some light improvements are needed. I glued the tracks to the rollers and all this is made removable to make painting easier, I will align it when gluing at the end.

For a 1/72nd kit that's impressive detail and impressive work in such clean assembly of the parts so far Willy :speak_cool:

Thanks Col., a lot of effort goes into the even position of the rollers and good track sag. A little photo-etching, continue...

Nice neat work. Is the welding a feature of the kit parts or something you've added?

Yes, welds have been added. Also I added detailing on the gun mask.

There was no bottom on the side boxes on the turret, I had to close it with plastic.

Small work requires great concentration, unfortunately I don't have much time, but the work is moving forward.

Assembly is nearing completion, I hope...๐Ÿ™‚

This is looking so smart with the PE additions.ย  It will almost be a shame to paint it!

The mounting of one antenna on the turret is higher, the other is lower, but they are the same in height. What's the joke? Maybe someone knows?

Meanwhile, very slowly but continue.
