There are a number of other details on here including spare wheels mounted at the back plus other details that could be added.

Absolutely the right approach. The kit is just the base and then you should individualise and modify it to what you want your tank to look like. There's also the periscope binoculars, machine gun mounts and maybe a couple of machine guns, tow rope, tow shackles on the front, tarpaulin tie downs on the edge of the upper hull etc. I can't wait to see what you turn it into!

My version of the radios and enclosure for ammunition. Going to start to figure out the lower hull and how to allocate space for the electronics tomorrow nightImage

Wanted to show anyone who has been interested in the build where I am at so far...

The build is going very well with the help of Mr Alwyn Turner. He has been kind enough to print me some more bits and fabricate the two machine gun holders. Michael C provided me some spare parts so many thanks!

The radio has been updated and details added.

I made metal spare road wheel holders and brackets. The spares are removable.

The exterior has received a first coat of Vallejo acrylics dunkelgelb after much sanding and priming.Image

I cannot tell you how much fun this has been for me and the level of support from so many on the forumImage

I've yet to finish detail the gun so that is still in its base coat.

My camoflouge pattern is still in the works...

The build thread is located in "Other Builds"
