Nice, very nice

Well done!

I can't find anything wrong with it.

excellent!

Job well done

This is wicked! I love the used look of it and i like the fact that you've highlighted some of the bolts. It reals makes them pop out

All in all it is a wonderful model and a must in the IDF tanks collection, as there was no decent T62 model in the past, that could be a suitable base for the conversion.
A few touches are missing in the model, and in Maxime's great work, but these can be esily added or detailed.
1. The IDF drilled holes in the center of every road or idler wheels cups. These drilles are noticable and can be fixed easily.
2. There are no external fuel tanks fittings to the hull console or tubing.
3. The driver's hatch needs modification.
4. The front fenders have a "thick" appearance.
5. the front fender missing a tryangular locking plate to meet the latch in 90 deg' lifting.

Having said that, it is an impressive model, especialy to one that served on it. (me)

Happy Tiran modeling

Nice model!
And might we be seeing a DE book on Tirans?

Trumpeter have gone a long way in making their models more accurate, however in this case some parts and components were not as accurate as they should have been - the front and rear fenders of a Tiran tank are one of the most distinctive details and modifications of this tank
Trumpeter surely got it wrong in terms of design accuracy
Most Tiran conversions have always suffered from this particular detail in all their conversion sets
The most accurate Tiran kit is the Tamiya
If you have the intention of building up an Tiran6, try to seek a Tamiya Tiran 5 front fenders and copy them thru casting, as for the rear fenders they can be sorted by slightly heating the plastic and bending it to a correct angle
All other components seem to be well designed
This review is based on a personal assessment of the kit in subject
Cheers

Awesome build!!

Thanks for sharing

That's quite stunning, nicely done.
