OK, here is a small update on my entry. I'd say building the tank 70% done. Still have to do the tracks, then attach the suspension. then weather. this is going to go into a dio, so I have a Marine squad advancing with the tank. Also there will be a TC in the hatch.

Thanks!

Can you get a better pic of the flame turret? The figures look good

May I suggest putting a small tube on the bar going back towards the hull from the headlight guard.This is an often overlooked detail.
Do you have AM straps holding the tools on? The wood color looks good on them.

well, the dio is done, and the tank is finished with major assembly, now for detailing and weathering.

All that is left is to wait for the decals, and add some ammo cans.

Looking good. Don't forget to "muck" up the lower hull/ suspension and blacken the muzzles. I goota get one of these babies!

muddying up the suspension is on my list of things to do. I have to make a short day trip to a hobby store that has hudson and allen mud.
