Looking great Patrick. Not being a armor builder I still hear alot of bad press about vynil tracks. How hateful are the a/m replacements? Looking forward to the next update.

Thanks Trey! Vinyl tracks are a pain mostly in terms of getting them to sag properly. That's why I prefer individual link sets.

The only AM one's I could find for this type were metal Fruils, but at £25 they cost as much as the kit! Too rich for my budget

I've done some chipping, I want a well-worn look for this one.

The engine deck covers are homemade, Trumpeter supply pe fan covers, but nothing else! Weird!

This one has moved on a bit (I'm trying to ignore the Dragon Panzer III that's yelling " build me! build me! ")

I've added the pioneer tools & some dust / mud effects.

The IR night vision gear is a resin & pe kit from ET Models as the Trumpeter stuff was rather poor
