The zim looks good - and ties everything together.

I love the extra width that the sloped sides give to the front of the A. More intimidating!

Thanks for the comments they’re very much appreciated,I think I will give the turret and upper hull a coat of rattle can yellow and strip down the hull. Metal suspension arms and upgrade springs to fit later but it needs some zimmerit and paint first.

Some more paint and spare track holders added. Need to get lower hull and road wheels sorted now but may get some weathering done too.

Estniche, the bin lids are from Shapeways in the US, they are a 3D printing consortium and have plenty of 1/16 tank parts in their online shop. Cost and postage was pretty good too.

Some weathering and damage added, I have put some blue tinted Perspex in some of the periscope positions with the remainder to do.
I have also started adding some Schrunzen plates along with a wire version of my own. Still more to do.
