Steve, she's looking good! Too bad about the missing pieces, you always find them after the need for them passes.
Standing by for the next installment. Cheers Rick H.

Looking very nice indeed Steve.
Yes I’ve just put the first coat of paint on mine.

Coming together nicely. Where was your bench apron? Smoke dischargers definitely at wrong angle. Refer to Abrams' photos. Coolers I've seen in photos are red or royal blue with white lids always. PaulE

Hi Steve, great build:thumb2: and shaping up very nicely. These modern 1/72 scale tanks are more detailed than the 70's/80's 1/35 scale models of the days. Hopefully the new tracks will be all ok and would be great to see this one finished.

Steve,
Looking very nice the details you are adding are making a big difference.

I’m with Si I like the stowage

 

[Steve Jones]

Hi Everyone

Cheers Colin:thumb2:
You are not wrong there Rick:smiling2:
Had a look at your paintwork Ian and it looks really good. A nice base coat to work from:thumb2:
Thanks again for your help Paul. Smoke grenades have now been moved
The most detailed 1 72 kit I have ever done Dirk. However I have only done four so not much experience:smiling5::smiling3:
Thanks Scottie. Glad you like it mate
Thanks Lee:thumb2:

 

[Si Benson]

Think I’ll have to add one of these to the stash....looks so nicely detailed.
More detailing you say! There was me thinking you must be getting close to finish:surprised:

 

[Fernando N]

Looks great Steve, nice work adding the stowage looks suitably busy at the rear.:smiling4:

Good luck with the extra detailing and the periscopes turned out very nice.:thumb2::thumb2:

 

[Lee Drennen]

I’m liking those side skirts brackets very smart looking. Good job Steve

 

[Guest]

Excellent work so far.

Hi Steve
You know those Russian dolls where they all nest inside one another getting smaller and smaller - your modelling reminds me of them. You add details to details which get progressively more miniscule, like the dolls :tongue-out3: Numbers on a 1/72 scale turret - truly incredible mogglin. Inspiring stuff.

That’s coming along great guns Steve, some great detailing going on

 

[BigGreg]

WOW.... fantastic details... very inspiring for my future diorama... THANKS Steve.
Your research and you attention to details are fantastic... can't wait to see more...

 

[Steve Jones]

Hi Everyone

I highly recommend this kit Si. Went together beautifully
Cheers Fernando. Lots more stowage to see tonite:thumb2:
I had no choice but to make them Lee as I had chopped the panels off the side skirts they needed to be seen
Thanks Ralph. I appreciate it
A fantastic analogy Jim. Very kind of you to say
I'm getting there Ian. Just want to start painting her now!:smiling2:
More to come tonite Greg. Glad you like it mate

 

[Lee Drennen]

Those water bottles are insane Steve. You need to teach JR how to do that

 

[Jim R]

Hi Steve
Water bottles and boxes - brilliant.
