PT-76B - Soviet amphibious light tank with aftermarket stuff also I'll order - metal individual track links.
Suspension, cleaned mold lines.
76mm Barrel - very fragile - easy break. I decided to make one - brass tubes (from my spare box) by soldered for protection / non-breaking.
the water-jet propulsion used when amphibious.
Two plastic parts - incorrect shapes then make two correct shapes white styrene add on.
Folded some small periscopes then solder by later.

All - Thanks.
W.I.P. 1/35 PT-76B - Some PE add on the rear and engine hatch, sanding down shark gills side (vents were bit thick to bit thin by sanding down and files) - probably water outlet for reverse.

Looking fab!
I have a love/hate relationship with Masterclub tracks: love the way they look, hate putting them together...Did yours stay together without glue? I tried, and failed, doing the ones for my T-70M without glue.

Leon - Thanks.
Dierk - Thanks, I don`t like resin pin too small and easy break. I used 0.4mm drill / 0.4mm wires into the track holes.
Minuteman1636 - Thanks, your welcome to MSC Forum.
Sanding down tyre pattern lines.
Tyre bit worn out.
MasterClub - Track links - Done!
Black primer by airbrushing.

my old first sargent has a photo of me standing next to three burn outs. One was upside down, and had a huge hole in the hull bottom. Very catastrophic for the crew I'm sure. I was only there for about fifteen minutes while the chopper was refueled

I can't wait to see you run it in the bathtub!
I'm surprised to see Trumpeter include the internal water ducting. It would have been easy to omit all that.
