Really good - nicely done although a little bit of stowage would be welcome as well

Great to see more 48th armor as well!

Just a minor point. but the applique armor (on the hull) was welded on, so there would be no gaps whatsover - that comment apart, for your first AFV, it's REALLY impressive..

Very nice, better than my first tank. You did a great job and it's very convincing!

Please tell us how you made the mud.
