Soft weather on the lower hull,



It turned out like this:





With the wheels on



I broke 3 suspension arms... didn't apply any force they just snapped.
Super glue & patience

This is the part I hate the most,
Cleaning up tracks, remove them from sprues, and I admire Trumpeter for not having any reference on how many links per side, that's really helpful.

I will go for the other side next, then paint the missing details, and the rest of the tracks before adding the fenders.

Does the de-ditching log look good as far as detail realistic?

That looks pretty good. With careful painting it'll look like real wood. Thanks for the close up picture
