Tammy kits are just great for a change of pace!! Nice find at the show!! You seem to have this beast tamed rather nicely Anthony!! Keep up the nice work!!

Yes the build has been very typical of Tamiya.I imagine the main challenge will be the painting and weathering of this beast.
Andy, tracks just click together,25 minutes for both runs !!!

Looking forward to more on this one Anthony! Nice to see you went the motorization route with it, beats making the 'vroom-vroom' sounds on your own!  |

Good going so far Anthony. The fun part is right around the corner.
I know it won't happen, but it'd be great if someone made an aftermarket gearbox allowing the tank to move at scale speed.

Nice work with the paint and pre-shade Anthony. The best results often produce a subtle effect with this technique. Looking forward to more on this monster.
