Looking very nice I built one many years ago it's a good jit that together very nicely.

looking good.

here's an idea for your next build, after the tracks have dried, gently rub the 'pads' with sandpaper to scrub them up and give them a 'used' look, i tend to find that the 'rubber' pads get pretty trashed quite quickly on a real tank or AFV.

i also tend to cut tiny 'box' shapes out of polystyrene packing..(the kind found in packing crates for electrical items), and after giving them a green base coat fit them into the turret basket.

i also add a small amount of milliput filler ..(the two part epoxy stuff)... to talcum powder and roll it out flat ..(just like rolling pastry)....roll it about 1mm thin and cut a square out of it.... then drape this over the previously fitted 'polystyrene' boxes in the turret basket and gently dab it with a soft brush to get it to sit and sag like a cover on the 'basket', when dried give it a thin coat of either dark green....ie Tamiya Nato Green, brown or sand coloured paint, and a light drybrushing to give it the appearance of a tarpaulin..

have a look here for a 'tarp' that i did....(my first attempt, so it may not look exactly as i wanted it to do...but it's a start)
