Very nice, Nicholas. Thanks for sharing your pics. A few items that I noticed: your roadwheels could use a little dirt/dust/mud? They seem starkly bright in comparison to the rest of the upper hull. Also, know that in practice, metal tow cables were kept meticulously free of rust (not the ends which you've banged up nicely) -- but the cable itself. Otherwise wear/damage/fraying could be missed -- leading to a very dangerous situation. Cables were cleaned with oily rags constantly. You've done a great job showing wear on the sprocket and roadwheel rims -- maybe take a pencil to the track teeth as well?

Hope this helps.

Looks like you don't have too much more to do.Camo is good,I like your fading,and you even got the worn metal on the face of the inner road wheels.Looking forward for the completion.

Really nice job, Nicholas!! I've been wondering about those Kaizen tracks after seeing them on ebay. How were they to work with??

In regards to the kaizen tracks, it involved a lot of clean up and you have to securely glue the guide horns in place because they have a tendency of popping off once completed. However, for the price and the fact that they really do work I do like the tracks.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.
