Agree with Handiabled that the anti-slip looks pretty good!

Yesterday during our monthly online So.Cal.AMPS Zoom meeting I made some progress on this. I modified the kit muffler part into the correct configuration. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/PrxxdXYS/IMG-9870.jpg) Its not an exact match to what photos show, but it's close enough for government work ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I also added the shover underneath as shown in photos I also modified the radio antenna base to the proper size and installed it on the side, as well as adding a tow cable from my spares bin that Italeri neglected to include ![](https://i.postimg.cc/5NRt0hmb/IMG-9871.jpg) and here is a photo of where it all stands now ![](https://i.postimg.cc/y838SLf9/IMG-9872.jpg) I need to add a few small fittings to the right side, plus scratch up the jerry can racks on the rear troop doors. But not too much farther to go on this now...

Somehow this one has slipped by the radar. Cool subject and I love the extra detail you're adding.

Brandon & Brent, thank you. I finally have some progress worth reporting here. So I am just about done with construction on this. A couple of weeks ago I finished up the storage shelf for the fuel & water cans, and used some AM plastic cans in place of the metal type that came with the kit ![](https://i.postimg.cc/W38VZBbw/IMG-9893.jpg) Then today I finished adding the last of the brackets and thingamajigs on the right side of the hull that the kit neglected to include ![](https://i.postimg.cc/B61x0TCY/IMG-9974.jpg) Yesterday I did most of the painting on the turret, plus adding the smoke grenade launchers. Today I painted the Gatling gun and gave it a test fit ![](https://i.postimg.cc/W4yMCW0q/IMG-9975.jpg) I also recently worked on some of the stowage painting, some covered rucksacks, using a combination of Vallejo acrylics and AK Paint Markers. The markers work great for doing the camo pattern over a solid base color ![](https://i.postimg.cc/BQtXpFh2/IMG-9919.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/0QgyFcb4/IMG-9957.jpg) I still need to add a few more items to the turret and hull rear, then I can start main painting. More to come soon…

Looks the business with the Gatlin gun in place. Great looking scratched racks for the jerry cans!

Looks great,the texture came out great Thanks Tony. It really looks the part under a coat of paint. I really like the stuff used for the texture. It will come in handy on future projects.
