Hi Guys,
I was warned about this kit but it was the cheapest in the block. When it arrived, I was so surprised with the quality of the kit. The details were really out of scale and the tracks and suspension came in one piece! Anway, I still wanted to build it and modified it as far as I can and with what I have lying around. I used the Tamiya Mk. 3 as basic reference and some on-line pics.
Please see the images below and suggest any improvements needed.

Now there is a challenge, you've just earned my respect.
Nice job, looking forward to the pictures of the finished model.

Hi Hut and Easy Co,
Thank you for your flattering comments. This is a great test of my scratch building skills. It is quite a challenge and I had to choose which details to include and exclude. I am finding it difficult to construct the radio and I might omit it for the time being.
I hope to post the finished pics by next week.
