Default My Super Pershing V2,0

So it happened, that in the May I bought full option Tamiya Super Pershing from Frank Heritage:



And there it is together with the older brother:




The tank is very well made, but it wouldn't be me if I wouldn't try to add some detailing...

I decided to make rear fenders from metal and possibly front ones, too...


The tank has stovage boxes, that seems are taken from Heng Long tank, as they have not detailed handles:


And it must be corrected:

Very nice. How'd you make the turnbuckles on the front fenders?

Where did you get the metal commander's cupola?

Nice looking Pershing, working on one myself. Where can I buy the type of decal you have on the front near the words "Suka Punch"

Thanks for the compliments!
This nose-art is handmade by user, that is known as "Finsdad" at several rc tank forums. These paintings on the tanks are his trademark. The additional armor on my both SP are made by him, too...

Once again I see the inspiration (kick in the butt) needed to finish my own efforts.
