Hi all, I have just finished the Dragon new kit. In brief, the model is a very good kit. However, the hull parts don't fit well together as it supposed to be. The pics:
You did a splendid job of building and painting this kit, a little patience and modulation goes a long way and it shows to good effect.
Thanks for posting and sharing your build, ~ Eddy

Even so, with all the issues, it must be a better build than the much older Airfix or Italeri (Esci) offerings.

Very nice faded color, I like the way the rivets have lost their surface color on the horizontal surfaces. Subtle weathering and the right amount of color modulation.
I dont know many things about allied tanks so I'll ask. What is that thing that looks like a trumpet on the tower?
I can see a gap on the side of the tank on the first pic. Did that serve any puprose? Ventilation perhaps or help German shells find their wai in the tank ?
I used to be a scale modeler like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

The trumpet looking object on the turret is the radio antenna base.
