well guys the lower hull is finshed except fo the tracks and tool stowage!!!!! Problems, more like minor glitches!!!! first in step2, its the lower ladder according to the instructions its part B22, well on the sprue the there is no B22, its B15!!! the last Glitch is the drive sproket!!! the order of asebly is wrong You'll notice it as you build yours part G5 should goto G9 as G5 has the hole for the drive shaft!!!! You'll see when you build it!!!! so here are some pics!!!!

That's a big 'un Steve! I would like to request a pic with another tank so we can see the size difference.

I wondered why you had painted the interior. Don't forget to show us the driver's compartment.

God that's big!! How was the fit of the hull? You have it looking pretty good so I guess it can't have been too bad or you would have mentioned it.

You are fairly cracking on with this, is it the only project you have on the go?

Keep us updated.

Looks like a fast to do build.I still wish it could give the option of gear up or down.At least this way,you don't have to fiddle with getting the roadwheel arms all the same level.A bonus would be if some one does an aftermarket engine.

Looking good !
That is one big SOB I agree with another fine poster here, could you place it next to another 1/35 th tank for a size comparison.
Drivers compartment ? Wow, nice touch by tamiya, Does it look detailed, or does it need some work?

Looking forward to more pics soon :-)
