I am very curious about this kit and want to see the final results. This tank has a very funky cold war sci fi look to it.

Are you stop the build??? I have the same kit and looking for tips...

Hope can provide advances soon.

Regards.

Allright! Well, here is the kit prepped for primer and painting. I admit the tracks (82 per run, 4 runs) intimidated me for quite a while. After sucking up my courage, I found that getting the runs made up and around the sponsons was not nearly as bad as I thought it might be. However, I did keep the sponsons and tracks loose so I could paint the tracks separately and then add them to a painted tank. It is a bit tricky with the separate drive "pod", but it is possible. Now enjoy the very mediocre photos...

WHAT did you call me?

All that track goodness.

Now, here is where I will deviate a bit. I did not want to finish this as the museum piece looks, but more as a hypothetical of what It might have looked as a operational tank. More, with possible mods, to come.
