Let me be the first to reply, that looks really good just the right amount of weathering to represent the toughness of the push into germany with no time for cleaning or keeping their tanks pretty.

I think the weathering and decals look good, but you have just a little more sag than there usually is, I would recommend taking out just one link.

Hi Paul,

I suppose you are right. But I used the kit tracks so it isn't possible to remove one link. Everything is glued together, the sag included

Hm, I think this might be because of the lowering of the idler that you mentioned in a previous post. Overall though, it looks great, keep 'em coming!

Yup, it is the 6013 kit, OOTB. How was your build? Can you show me some pics? I suppose this kit is very rare because I couldn't find much info on the net...

What big tank? All I see is a barn on treads!

By the way, what scale is it? If it's 1/72, then good job!

Thanks for the positive replies guys . Armorama helped me really to improve my skills

@JamesGa, that's a nice pic. I haven't seen it before. I posted a walkaround on the JSII and that tank has a heavy sag too. So guess it is alright then.

Jurgen

This is beautiful work here.

The overall eye appeal of this one is so authentic. The painting/weathering really gives this one the look of "weight"---that is, this model actually looks like it is made of metal. One can almost hear the clanking and smell the fumes -----Very very convincing. Congrats.

Steve
