Good Day Folks, Well here it is, my first "real" tank build. The plan is to do a proper weathering attempt, and make a small diorama. Any advise is greatly appreciated. -Steven |

Hey Steven, This was my first build using an airbrush that i borrowed from my nephew. It turned out ok and was a fun little build. It has lots of room for improvements so im looking forward to the PE on this kit. I think its a cool looking tank. Have fun bro and keep the updates comin'  Gary |

As someone who mostly builds wings, I won't have much useful advice for you but I'll tag along for the ride nonetheless . Always liked the look of the M41  |

Looks like a fun project, will be following with interest! Best advice is to experiment and have fun with it...think of the final "effect" you want to go for and plan accordingly and don't be afraid to try different things to get there.

Good Day Folks! The tank is falling together nicely, I have the base coat on, and the major assembly is done. I am currently working on the tracks, then I will be starting the weathering and other small details. -Steven |

Nice progress with the paint work Steven. Every time I see one of these I can't help but think of Godzilla movies. |

Good Day Folks! I have applied a coat of Future, and applied the decals. Next up will be the weathering, washes and other fine details. -Steven |

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.
