just missing the tow cables. waiting for those to come in from Dragon. other than that, it is finished.
only thing im really disappointed with is that i didnt get the track sag. the way i did the track, wasnt the best and it made it too hard to do it. so, i had to do what i could.

Looks really good. I really like the chains on the exhaust. Wonderful job!

my original intention was to go with the track sag. although it isnt that big of a deal, the track sag, in my opinion, adds "character" and a better look.

my weathering consists of the following:

preshading with exhaust black
gray base color followed by a lighter shade of gray for the inner panel. this was followed by a blue filter for the inner portion of the panels.
light gray drybrush including scratches/gouges.
dot method streaking-brown, black, white, blue
mig pigments-dark mud, dry mud, europe dust
pastels comprised the look of the exhaust. dark brown, orange, red, yellow, and a little black.

to be quite honest, this was one of the worst kits to make because of kit problems. there were so many design flaws and instruction flaws. As much as i like this tank, this may be my last.

The title of the thread should be helpful in determining which kit it is.
