This helps a lot but what about the line that runs along the side? I was looking closely at the pic of the model, are all the tanks connected to eachother?

Hi gentlemen,

Thanks for the compliments fellas!

I have made progress on the turret. chipping, pigment wash, and filter all apllied. next will be streaks/stains, graphite, and attention to lenses and periscopes. once thats done, ill go back and finish weathering on wheels and tracks. then ill see what ive forgotten or screwed up!

Just one word: "Magnificent"...

Great work, Gary. When I get the space, time and balls to get back to active modelling I will use it as a guide.

Superb! IMHO the chipping is not over-done. It all comes together very nicely. The rust on the fuel tank is quite good.

Hi gentlemen,

What color would this light and pericope be. I have looked at several references and can quite find an exact answer.
