Thanks Gary, I'm pleased you like it. It's caused me a bit of grief this one as I was aiming for more restraining weathering finish and I've found it difficult striking a balance between just enough dirt to look realistic, without going overboard. Anyway, I'm fairly happy with the end result, I just hope I can get some higher quality snaps done for a feature.

The T-72B will indeed be going back on to the beach some time soon, I've just got to rekindle my Object 279 blog and get cracking on some other outstanding stuff. As the nights draw in I should get a bit more bench time!

Glad to hear it mate - cheers Rob!

Hey Rob,

Just wanted to thank you for this build blog! I just purchased this model and I can tell that this build will prove invaluable to me in helping me complete this awesome Meng kit!!

It was your excellent review of this kit that convinced me to get this model in the first place.

Also wanted to ask you if you used any of the other parts other than the barrel that came with the Tetra upgrade kit? I also purchased this kit as well at your recommendation.

You have done a fantastic job with this Meng kit Rob!!!

Thanks again!
