Great looking tank. My only suggestion would be maybe adding a little rust to the treads and towing cables. Was it any easy build?

Nicely done, very good job on the build. My only suggestions would be to work on some more weathering and use something to dull the shine a little (Dull Coat or something along that line....).

Can you post this to the Rivet Review Board?

Hey, that is a clean build. I like the gun laying on the deck.
I would recommend painting the tracks a dirt color, wash them with a dark wash, and dry brush with a metallic color.
You may want to take some more photos in the sunlight as the flash will wash out a lot of detailing.
You could also add some wear to the edges of the tank and hatches. Anything that would be scraped against objects. You can add some exhaust stains to the rear deck where the exhaust pipe is.
Good work, are you going to make a dio out of this?

Just my two cents...that little hole in the exhaust-pipe, does that belong there or is a little putty in place? For the rest, a very clean build, with some nice details!

Keep up the good work, John.

That's a cool land battleship there, I've always wanted to do one. I know very little about that tank, but normally the inside of personnel hatches are normally the same color as the vehicle exterior.
