A few more tweaks and some crew and it will be done. This is the Tamiya boxing of the Tasca kit. The mantlet cover and main gun barrel are from DEF and the all of the stowage is from Value Gear.

Really excellent job Chris! 1 thing - check the road wheels. It looks like you have 2 floaters on the left side. Your stowage looks great!

Good catch! Need to lock down the arms for those wheels. Now that I look at it, the stowage needs a couple of tie down ropes. Can't say enough good about the Value Gear. Love using the stuff on most of my builds.

Chris,

I really like the work you did on the tracks. What looks like a dark rust color on the outside edge really stands out nice - what color exactly?

Cheers,

Tim

Thanks for the comment. I just mixed up some Vallejo German Camo Black-Brown and basic brown and touch of red. Brush paint it very thin on the ends of the tracks and the center guides. I flat coat it and then go back over with a oil wash of burnt umber thinned with Naptha.
