Hey guys! Here are some pics of my Mirage 1/72nd Grant tank. It was a fun and fast build. For being as complicated as it was, and with as many parts it had, it went together in 2 evenings. The fit on it was perfect, i have no complaints about this kit. I still have to add soem grab handles here and there. Here are the pics. Enjoy!

Yes the tracks are vynls, they are very nice, and were also a link to long, so they had to be trimmed. But other then that i would say that there is nothing to watch out fo on this kit, just a few places where the mold didnt get filled in all the way " like the final drive covers". But other than that its awesome.
