Other than adding a cupola mounted MG, its finished. Oh yeah, everything still works on it fine - including the smoke. Its primed and ready to hunt suitable targets.

Ooooooo, I like it. [sm=thumbup.gif] I can tell from the pictures that you decided not to move the antennae or lengthen the barrel, but did you make any other physical modifications, like rotating the pistol port on the turret?

Great paint job!

Thanks Jason. I would like to change the hatch correctly - someone said something about using a flat head screwdriver but I am unsure. Perhaps I'll move other things around but I'm trying to make the most perfectly accurate tank model here. Overall, I was happy with the result and focused on trying to bring the depth and detail out as much as possible. You can't find a 1/16th static model for the price and may well buy another down the road.

templar, looks good, you put lots of effort into it.

it looks like it is in spring time in russia. tank looks wet and shinny, need some mud on the chassis.

yep ! another beauty .[8D]

Thank you. I have hit the tank with crystal clear satin finish and it has not dulled up the wax from the wash enough. I may need to try something else because it is a bit shiny. Prior to hitting it with the clear, it was near perfect after I sprayed a light black dust on the whole tank. However, I oversprayed with the sealant and had to redo the wash again. I didn't want to blacken the paint any further so it is what it is now.

That does look very good. Nice camera, too. I love the dancing gecko. Did you save 35% on your insurance

I sure would hate to encounter that tank on the battlefield, let alone a pack of em in full hunting mode . . . [:@][:@]

Looks good Templar.[sm=thumbup.gif]

Great looking tank!
