Robert,
Great build. Interesting subject as well. Dio idea sounds good too. A couple of infantry soldiers behind the tank going through the barbed wire would be a great finishing touch, IMO. Will be looking forward to updates.

I like it Robert. You've done a nice job of weathering , not over done. These babies never really got a chance to be to war torn. I might suggest a little more dirt/rust on the recessed of the tracks to show more contrast to raised parts, also the paint needs to be cleaned off of the inside of the barrel / barrels
-Great Job
