Great looking build, the only thing I would say against it is that it has absolutely no markings. I have tons of photos of captured and abandoned Iraqi equipment especially the tanks and every one has some sort of unit or national marking.

Very, very nicely done!

One question: did you use the kits vinyl tracks or AM ones? If those are the kits vinyl tracks, then you did a hell of a job to make them look nice and realistic!

And I love the paintjob and the finish. But one thing: it is too clean beneath the fenders (behind the wheels directly at the tank) But the rest's just great! Thx for sharing!

Great model. The heavily worn and weathered tank looks very realistic.

Thanks for sharing
