Love the detail work!
Should the 50cal. Ammo Boxes have Rivet detail on the lid? I do not recall seeing any with Rivets.

Hi Barry
I haven’t got a clue
It’s probably a trumpeterisum, could knock them off, but I’m not too fussed, something else for a pin wash to go round

Hi all
Got the coax working from the trumpeter kit, onto the heng long mantlet, think it’s a bit better!.
I used 1.6mm green stuff world Clear acrylic rod to channel led.

Looks fantastic
well done, as with many of these builds almost a shame to paint it!

Good Evening!
What Carl said! Detail rich and with many working features that make it stand out from the stock tank. A Beauty of a Build all the way around.
regards and looking forward to seeing your paint,
Painless

Hi!
Thanks both of you
too kind, I’ve done the undercoat on most of it, still got to do the running gear.
1/35 modellers don’t know the pain of a massive can of black undercoate will not do the whole model!!

Anti Slip coating looks great under a coat of paint, well done.
