Hi all,
I'm still with this project (see previous posts) but I'm coming to the end. The AFV club tracks are assembled, the hull is completed too.
I built the bustle rack extension thanks to Tankleader data. I still miss the side gas tank racks which I've not decided yet whether I built them using a jerrycan as a template or not.
Here as some pics, sorry I could not shoot them closer
I hope the next step will be the painting.

I can't complain with what I am looking at. Did you just completely scratchbuild it? If so, what did you use for the screen?
Also, the distance that you shot the pictures from is perfect. Any closer and we won't know what we are looking at. Any farther and we will not see the details.
Very good job.

Looks great so far. Couls you share with us any drawings or referances you used to build it?

Thanks for the kind comments.
The screen is a reference from Aber but the mesh is too fine in my opinion.
As far as references are concerned, I used a Word file got from Tankleader. I think he won't disagree me sharing it with everyone interested in. So send me a mail so I can attach the file.
