Great weathering. Just curious about the tracks. They don't look like italeri rubber bands and it looks great with the sag. Definitely not italeri. What is it?

Hi Jeff,

Saw this last night and ment to comment then. Nice work on the kit, I like the damage and the finish you've achieved. This one is a rivet counters paradise but it looks grand to me.

Great stuff, one of the most interesting representations of this tank I've seen in a while. Just makes you want to build it

Cheers

Well, the others are right, it certainly is a nice finishing job on this kit but I must say I wish you'd taken just a little more time on the construction to match the paint job. The front fenders on the kit have a small raised area that isn't there on the real vehicle and should be removed. Also the front right fender has split open. If it is from battle damage, I'd expect to see some indications of it on the fender (denting, fasteners ripped out or whatever) otherwise, it should be glued in place. These aren't too hard to do and really would have allowed the entire model to be at the same level of excellence.
