Looks good Karl. Did you use any AF sets on it or straight from the box? What's going on with the rear of the fenders, where it appears to 'dip'?

Vinnie, the dip is correct. The fender is supposed to slightly slanted.

Karl excellent work!!! I'm very excited to see you are building this kit.

From what I read and saw the reference photos, these tanks are only in combat for couple of monthes before captured or destroyed. The one that got captured looked virtually brand new.

Also, the only problem that I experienced are the multple joint/seam lines on the gun breech. That would best be addressed.

That's all! I'm lovin' it!

I'm not familar with the vehicle, and I don't doubt that the fenders dip towards the rear....it just looked odd with that big gap.
