Build Update: Still working on the Frontal armor / Belly plate, will get this done by the weekend. Mock up of the tank, base painted the lower hull... will be using Tamiya Rubber black Acrylic for the Road wheels and track pads... a bit of weathering on the lower hull.    Side Armor is almost done.  Thanks for stopping by, Cheers!!! ER  |

Thanks a lot guys!
Capt Dicky will soon find out with the brackets,
already base coated the tracks with gunze steel
and painted the road wheels with tamiya tire black
just need to manually paint the trackpads, just the lower part.

I'm not into modern armor but this model is pretty impressive, the last pic shows the long and massive barrel (nice position btw to display it).
