This is Dragon's 1/72 kit finished. The only thing left is the base. Here are some pics. All comments welcome.

I just don't know why, but it does look 1/35 to me

Ross, please post bigger pics when you have done the base.

Txs for the large pictures ! A beautiful model you made there. I like the colors, they 'fit' together nicely. I also like the white wash on it. A well done job ! Guy

Good work, Ross!

I like the idea of the base being mach smaller than the vehicle itself!

What I like about is the presentation of the finished piece. The white wash looks good at this scale.
I can't bring myself to braille scale, too much strain on the eyes.

Nice work Ross.

Nice job!

I was just wondering how the kit itself went together. I've heard some bad things about the early Dragon 1/72 models, but this one is pretty new. How are the tracks? Do the pieces fit together well? It looks from your pics as though there's a decent amount of detail on the model, do you agree?

Again, looks great!

A very nice depiction....maybe a little too much rust on the tracks, but overall a good looking build.
I have to say that in all honesty, the way you've depicted it on the teeny base (hanging off the edges) doesn't quite work for me, though this seems to be the thing lately.
