Hi all
This is my Tasca M32B1, which got off my bench not long ago.
I used Dragons indi track links instead of the ones provided, and I also put in a drivers compartment set from Resicast.
Please do comment

M32B1 finished

Beautiful work, weathering is absolutely dead on. Makes me want to get back to working on mine!

Thank you all for the nice comments

Beautiful work on that Asuka/Tasca kit, Jacob! Like Mike said above, it makes me want to finish mine (at the painting stage).
If I can offer you one small suggestion: note the Tasca directions about painting the tail lights. Only the upper left oval was red. The lower slit was a black rectangle and both slits on the right tail light are black rectangles too. Hope this helps!

Very nice, and the old Dragon tracks look great.
The tail lights actually had clear plastic lenses, except for the red oval. They look black because the light bulbs are set back in the light and the lenses do not reflect.

Nice finish to a classic, unique model subject.

Thanks for the tip on the rear lights, I'll see if I can do something about it without ruining it

Roy, I've been following yours on track link. I wondered what had happened to it.

Jacob, my friend...
What a fantastic model of one of my favourite vehicles.!
Fantastic work, I love your recovery vehicles (first the Diamond T and now this one).
Will you be bringing this one to C4-Open in October?

The best weathering job I've seen.I really dig the crushed oil can.
I have the vintage Testors M32. I have 34 tanks and its one of my favorites.

I have the Tankograd TM series pub on this tank, so you know I gotta build a type of M32 instead of the Italeri M32 Hull failure(other parts are good tho).I was considering an M32A1B3
