Finally getting close to finishing this project! This is the old Tamiya 1/16th scale kit updated with the insane Aber photo etch set, lot's of scratch building and finishing with AK Interactive, Mig Productions and Vallejo paints. Will begin detailing the diorama base next week...

Thanks for the great feedback! The tow cable was made from steel cable and torched in a jig to retain it's shape - then I found that you can buy pre-made cable!! Hahahah! always happens to me! The smoke dischargers are cut and notched brass tubing. I replaced the gun tube cleaning poles with ones made from toothpicks and brass tube and rod. Here are a few more pics...

The texture/mud effects was created by stippling Vallejo Dark Earth Medium on with a old brush, waited for it to dry then added Mig pigments dry and then flicked AK Kursks Earth, Fresh Mud, Dark Mud on with a old brush that looks like a broom!
