James,
Nice work! Are those tarps resin or home-rolled? (If resin, which set? I'll eventually build my M26...)

James mate, you've got a very prominent join line between the top and bottom halves of the turret there on the left side (can't tell from the photo whether it's also on the right side).
That could do with sanding down to blend it in, then just respray back over it.
Other than that, looks really good so far.

Thanks guys...
Lets see, the tarps and bags are from Trakz, I think, the mantlet cover is tissue with solder brackets, the ammo cans are from the kit and the bracket holding them is PE fret. The mold line should be there but is not as bad as it looks in the picture. There is tiny minor stuff all over the kit. The hatch detail is all scratch built.
