Also, the track on the driver's side is backwards ...

This is why this Rivet Review forum is so valuable.

Bob aka HollowPoint pointed out this problem and also replied to a personal email from me explaining exactly how to identify the appropriate placement of M10 tracks. He is right, and I have corrected this error. Thanks Bob for your courteous reply and assistance on this, and for making this a better model.

In addition, my appreciation to all for their comments on this in progress build. "Tanks"!!!

Well, I had no idea either about the tracks, but your paint work is beautiful, very artistic. I like the way you have provided definite highs and lows in the paint without over exaggerating this effect. This is easy to do. I always seem to go too subtle or too over-the-top.

WeWillHold - slow down a little bit! The Tank Destroyer Group Build is scheduled to kickoff on 1 July - this is a perfect contribution. Go make some tissue rolls or something for a few days...

Very nice work WeWillHold! I like the effect of the weathered paint.
When can we see the turret?

No problem, Steve. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing this with the turret on!
