Since the barrel was glued in place I had no other option but
to cut it off and so I did and I think it turned out ok...

Thanks for letting me know about this error

Now the decals are on and I've started with the stowage
but there's still a lot of stuff left to do...

Thanks!!!

I got a bit scared when I realised that I made that mistake with
the barrel but now once it's fixed I can continue with the rest of
the work on it pretending nothing happened

Best regards

Thanks Guy!

It was either to leave it as it was but then it would annoy me
for all eternity or try to cut it off since i glued it too well so I
couldn't twist it off... So a new blade in the scalpel and a
few paryers and off it came...

Best regards

This is my tank in real life. It is big and glorious in all its diesel fumes and filth. I think you captured it beautifully

Thank You Very Much Carl!!!

I will try to make it look really used and busy with lots of stowage
and a couple of relaxed figures in the turret.

it even more lively and a couple of figures too.

Sven-Åke,

Excellent photos! Great job on the weathering. . . gives it that real dusty, grimmy and worn, been out in the field for a while look. Sure am looking forword to see more photos when you add the figures and stowage.
