hi guys this is one i have been working on in the background it wasnt a kit i was overly excited about building but i did enjoy the experience and it is a very nice kit to build the only issue i had with it was joining the turret halves, i am really happy to have it on the shelf and it is quite an impressive tank when viewed with vehicles of the same era i will probably add some stowage at some point to finish it out.

Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

Ron.

Very glad to help Ron. I pored over this tank for several years as I was putting together my Super Pershing. I see that you're in TN. Any ability to go to the AMPS Nats next year?

Hi Ron,
Great job! Really like the weathering effect you've achieved.
Very minor point. Perhaps a little black for the exhaust.
I'd go .
