Hi Andrzej
Great to see more pics of your masterpiece
A truly stunning piece of work , the detailing on the rivets , nuts and bolts plus the paint chipping and worn textures you have achieved is truly impressive
I look forward to seeing further progress

That is superb! I love the burnishing on the sponsons. The texture looks spot on. How long has it taken to build this beast?

Fantastic work Andrzej

What incredible work, Andy! WOW! It gets more amazing every time you post new pictures!
I do have some questions and a couple suggestions offered to the master ...
What did you use for rivets and bolts, etc... ?
One thing that you may wish to consider is the red-white-red identification marks that were used on the top of the driving cabin and, I believe, the rear turret. Also .. the name of the tank is "Barrhead" from the 2nd Battalion, Tank Corps. Barrhead also had the unditching rail mounted, so that's something you might wish to consider.

That is truly incredible! It actually looks real as opposed to a model. Awesome work!

I greet and thank for opinions

...The model it is not such difficult , it has only lots changes of thing which require time quite a lot ...
Nailcreek , I paint name very willingly , but it have not no picture , as and where

... white belts and red I paint , just problem

..
I after leave will make squares and beam yet .. I cast from resin Rivets and bolts , and cut out such tool for picture lower ..And here this check on chain - back finished model

..
Three things became ad finem - vent ,something odd for back superstructure and exhaust-pipe ....

Hi Andy
The markings you need for "Barrhead" are on the decal sheet in the Interus Mark V Composite kit.
The ID stripes (white-red-white) markings are on the top of the driving compartment and across the top of the rear turret as well.
Your work is incredible!

Hey Andy,
This model would have to gow down as the most impressive work I have seen. EVER!
The close up photos are just fantastic. I had a hard time telling myself that it was a model I was looking at. I think a few photos in black and white would be really impressive!
