Great build! I fell in love with that kit after seeing one built at a hobby show, it just looks spectacular! I think this series of the three Chinese AFVs on the same chassis (they also did an howitzer and a tank destroyer) is when Trumpeter took a quantum leap in quality, before those their kits were so/so. For anyone considering those kits, Trumpeter released a dedicated set of workable tracks, I bought a couple of sets dirt cheap on eBay, nobody was really interested in them.  Cheers, Christophe |

Leon, Wizard Works strikes again For what it's worth, all it needs I think is a light dusting. |
