WJ: I think you are off to a great start. You should add Stowage and personal items for the crew: tarps, backpacks, fuel cans, more ammo, etc. attached to the vehicle or around on the ground. HTH

I like the use of tape to hold the sides together. Nice placing in the dio. Warren

Hi zon
Thank you very much for advice, I am considering adding more content for it. "Side of the low wall" or "a tree", so perhaps you can better bring out the diorama, it does not look too monotonous.

This, for me, is one of those fun kits that I can afford for half of my weekly income. Can't wait to see what you do with it. The crew kept out of the elements by covering the deck with canvas. When not in use and not in combat, the tarp would be rolled back so that it only lay across the gun.

Thanks matt, a good idea, I will go to try to create a realistic canvas. I like the idea.

Looking forward to seeing more of this! Did you use Tamiya’s products for the ground work?

Hi W.J.
Have you glued in parts N10 and N11 (steps 16 & 17) to the fighting compartment? They are only meant as jigs to align other pieces, and then they should be discarded. Many modellers make this mistake.
Nice build ... I like your figure placement a lot ... should be nice when painted!!

Hi Frank
Thank you for reminding me, I was misled by the instructions on the error message, and now I have no way to take them down. I am concerned about the possible damage to the tank chassis, it will bring a lot of trouble.
Thanks again

That's a nice clean build. I like the fence too. I try to make friends with the local coffee baristas so I can get piles of those little wooden stir sticks - they're nice and thin, great for fences, crates, etc! Is it going to be a three tone camo?

Thank you Julian, there are these wooden bar is very versatile, so I have been collecting them. The color for the vehicle I'm not sure, but I like the yellow sand.

Hi matt
Very glad you like it, so that the tree is not only produced very good results, and I do not even go to the trunk in color. Also save a lot of trouble.

Yo Blackwater,
Nice start! Clean build so far.
Your fence is a nice piece of scratch building...maybe you should leave some wooden frames behind. Here and there a little gap in the fence would be nice If you know what I mean...its now to "clean" in my eyes. That will give the fence more dynamism...
Keep up.

W.J. -The tree looks great and the fence is good. Like Nico suggested, I think the fence needs a couple of vertical posts. A good place for one is at the gaps in the horizontal pieces. The vertical pickets you show now would really not be used to hold the fence up, but are a "decorative" screen. Also, some weathering and a little abuse would help a lot. Great job though.
