RFM kit with AFV Club 500 mm tracks and RFM Brass. I have a bit done on the road wheels and hull parts. I'll post some pics when some assembly is done on Friday.

Here of the box and the 1 to 1. Originals converted in Cairo, Egypt.

Base coated with tinted concrete Mr Color and tires are in Floquil Grimy Black. Good base colors for weathering and wear. Tires are very impressive! They are separate molding and have Cyrillic lettering for the tire company. It is hopefully not to fine to dry brush out.

More work on it. Really a well planned kit the so far fits 98% problem free. I used the AFV Club "workable tracks" , that's a few hours of wasted time! Drilled about 2.578.390 holes of .07, 09 and 1.1 mm in the upper hull for the accessories

Been missing all of the action here Paul!! It great to see you building armor and you're spurring me on like the rest of these guys around here to make me want to give it a try. I like the effects that you're putting into this beauty of a build bro. That track has a good lay to it and some mighty fine work on those road wheels.

What was wrong with the AFV Club tracks? I ask because I have a set in the pile...

The tracks are very nice but hey are weak on where they go together. Very difficult to stay attached at the pivot points. I ended up using very low tack tape to assemble and attach the on the tank.

Made some progress. The upper hull is just set on for the photos. The only nit is I didn't anneal the brass for the first fuel tank and it was very hard to form. So we made the first fuel tank missing. The brass screen on the engine deck is almost un seem with the guard on it ut looks perfect. Exhaust pipes are RFM 3D printed and as very thin and crisp. Was a test of patience to place the tarp tie downs on the gun "turret". The only real mod were I re-textured a few of the casting like the 1 to 1 has, A few small PE parts on the rear fenders and a handle to replace and I'll put the base color on the upper hull.
