That makes my AMS flare up! I'm assuming it is 1/35th scale? It looks fantastic from my end of things. Looking forward to seeing finished pics.
Cheers

Looks great! You got the details right - how about letting us see the forward fuel cell as well?

Hey Ciro

I think they look great Could you post a pic of the fuel lines before these and maybe a pic of the real ones. That would be easy to judge.

Very, Very nice work. What PE did you use for the hose clamps? Very convincing.

Hi Ciro. These are looking excellent. Much better than the earlier attempt .. where they did appear to be too thin. Well worth the effort to re-make them. Very realistic.

Hi Guys...thanks for your replies,I've used Aber Pe set(for the bolts) copper wire and plastic rod.....and patience!!!!
Not show in this photos but I've correct the position of the vent on the engine deck that was to close to the turret and incorrect,not much change but I do it the same.(this comport a change of the shape of one of my fuel lines..)
Now I only need to do friulmodel tracks and...paint....ah,if you suggest me an intersting camo or a cool picture(even referring to my soviet t55a )version it will be more appreciate....
