I think it's time to end this project.

Here are some pictures, more will follow later. Thanks for your comments.

That is just such a cool vehicle. A job well done Olivier!

Maybe you can add some small shiny oil stains (i.e.) to break the dusty appearance? But you sure did a good job on it

Next build will be?

Hi,
Jurjen, I consider adding some oil leaks or fuel stains here and there.

Gary, yes the tracks are from SP. I think Miniarm's ones are way better but these still looks good compared to the kit ugly pieces of vinyl

Maybe, I'll change the MG when I get a better one.

Great Job Olivier, I think you got excellent results out of the kit.

I too agree that Miniarm's tracks are better, but the SP Designs ones are also way better than the kit vinyl ones!

I also think your AAMG looks really good. Is there a better one available?

(I am slowly working on my version, I have the engine deck area hollowed out and ready for the PE screens...but the SU-100 comes first.)

Hi Jacques,
thanks for your comments. The tracks are far more affordable than Miniarm and that's a very good starting point

The MG could be replaced by the one in the Tamiya T-72 kit or the Blast NSVT with some mods to fit the kit MG cradle.

I'm eager to see yours popping-up.

Great job Olivier.
Your tank looks nice and dusty. Good job on this one mate.
