Hey ROBERTO

Looking good.... I too am curious what kit that is..

and I like what you've done with the stowage.

And that .50 cal looks great...

and the shading on the tank overall gives it that used quality.

I would like to point out a couple of things and I hope you consider them constructive.

The stowage on the rear deck doesn't appear to be fastened down.. the first bump and the stuff would fall off.. I note there are several grab handles so i'd suggest using some scale rope to tie it down.. I built a M8 and used fine Cotton twine from the shipbuilding section..

Pics of M8 with tied down stowage

The other thing I was wondering about is the spare track link's.. I can't really tell in the pictures but is anything holding them to the hull?




thanks for showing it.

Ditto what delbert says. It is a fantastic build. I like the weathering and the place ment of the stowage. The only thing would be to tie down the rear stowage. Well Done!!

Good job with that old kit! I've got an old dusty one on my desk here I built for my son. Yours looks much better than mine, but mine's battery powered!
