Guys,
It's my latest work. I used dragon kit. I assemble it directlly and just paint it for fun. It only takes my 10hrs, but I 'm very enjoy it.
Wish you guys like it, and looking forward your opinion.

That is really nice, gives me something to aspire to. You don't see enough little tanks here.
What did you use for the exhausts? That's my favourite bit

Hi,JP,
On the exhausts, I used oil paint and powder of SAKURA pastel. Easpecially the pestel powder , I use it to take the place of MIG powder.

Samnuel,

Super job! Great set of photos too! I like the realistic looking track sag. I have this one in the stash and was wondering if you ran into any assembly problems? Thanks for sharing your build and hoping to see more of your work here.

Hi,Eddy,
Thanks.
The kit is very good, there is no assembly problems. But I think maybe the Dragon can improve on the details. And if you like , some plastic parts can be replaced. E.g. the gun shell and the exhausts, they are too thick.
But you know, I 'm a lazy man , and don't have much time to work on hobby. So , I prefer the straight work.

Wow, I'm inspired. I'm giving up on 1:35 scale and doing braille scale from now on.

Great work Sam!
