That looks really realistic Ralph, nicely worn without going ott & sufficiently grimy.


How about a few more pictures, maybe some close-ups? 
 
Very nicely done! Mine's just moved a bit higher up on my 'to do' list!


Can I ask? One or two reviews I've seen mention some length issue with the tracks. I seem to remember they're slightly too long when built with the suggested number of treads but too short if one is left out. Yours look absolutely spot on for length.
 
Thats cracking stuff, love it. Mind you would need to be brave to leave the armoured cab, clamber onto the roof to use that gun lol   O.o , if there was ever a need for a CROWS system its right there !! :D

Thanks for the kind words Dave. :)


You are correct about the tracks.


When I built the lengths I found them to be just a tad too long.


After quite a bit of thinking and test fitting this is what I came up with.


I glued the track(I alway's put tracks on prior to painting)to the return roller,when set I then glued the track under tension to the front roller,again when set, I glued the track to the rear roller.


The next thing I did was to glue the bottom of the track to the wheels,for this I coated them with Testor's cement and when about half way dry I


pressed the tracks together as tight as I could going from the back to the front.


There was a bit where the track didn't quit sit correct at the front but this would be hidden by the blade support's and covered with dirt.


I hope this helps.


Ralph.

Thanks for the nice comment's Steve :) .


There is an hatch for the gunner on the roof top.


But like you said a CROWS system would be better :)
