This is one butt ulgy vehicle but at the same time it look so cool.

Is this an OOB built? If not what did you add to it. I'm curious to know because I saw that model at the LHS last weekend and I'm higly tempted to buy it.

thanks for sharing

Yes it's OOB except for the gun cover and chain. One thing-sand down the backside of the return bogies and wheels as they're to thick to fit the tracks guide teeth.

Now I dont normally like early war vehicles, but seeing your Bison might just convince me to give this one a go, thanks for sharing.

Richard is right. That is one butt ugly vehicle. Great job on the build! Well done!

How did you find the fit on the gun and interior? I've got this one in the stash and was intending to replace the lower hull with a DML hull and suspension (among other things), but would still use the gun and upper deck, etc.

Nice work on the dusty finish, looks like it's seen some hard miles. Did you scratch the gun cover and chain yourself or use an AM item?

The only advice I would offer besides thinning the wheels is to complete the gun carriage and test fit to make sure you have the wheel cradles located properly. The tube cover is one of the cartrages inserted into the barrel, then I masked off a bit from the end and painted on acrylic laquer to thicken it up a bit. The chain is 1/700 anchor chain.
