Hey thanks fella's glad you like it so far , Bill this kit and most of the Revell ones I have built feel like Tamiya but in 1/72 lol..... Paints for rust are earth colours really , light/ dark earth and camo brown Speaking of paint the top coat is on the running gear ............ I have now rubbed the bicarb and salt off to reveal the chipping ....... Next is to paint the rubber and dry brush steel onto the tracks .

Coming together very well indeed Deano Seeing the '72 next to the IV there really shows how small the modern tank is!

Ok fella's got some progress , not much but its something .............. Finished the running gear and gave a gloss coat for protection which was then followed by joining the hull parts ..... good fit! Next up is to finish and detail the build ... hopefully should have paint by the end of the week

Deano - looks great! How have you found the 1/72 Revell kits to be in general? Only have their 1/35 stuff in the stash...have never tried their braille offerings.

Hey Dupes , I like them ! IMO they have thier pros and cons just like 1/72 Dragon kits but for half the price . Detail is always very crisp although I do have to add things but that does not bother me considering the price of Revell kits in the UK ..... in other words cant knock them lol Be aware that some of thier old kits are Hasegawa and Esci kits but 90% of Revells new releases are new tooling ....... Onthewaymodels .com has loads of reviews so you can be sure about what you are getting

Oh ho, NICE! I didn't know about onthewaymodels.com - good to have another resource.
Couple of shows coming up in March and April...going to see what I can find.

I agree on the quality of the Revell kits Deano. I'll be getting more in the future I think. Your build is moving along at a good pace Bud.
