The Japanese couldn't penetrate the hull so targeted the idlers and turret rigs of the tank instead. You won't need them if you are modelling a British tank.
I printed them, but then left them off as I thought they would get in the way. Also I added the spare track holders. They were not the greatest prints as there isn't a really good surface to print them from.

I am not a Second World War tank guy, but I very much appreciate the work involved in building this. It has made a lovely model.

I may re print the rear top section as I’m not happy with the vents, they warped during curing because I removed the supports between the slats

So I have started repainting the blue to the grey on this and I actually think the blue looks better. Both are colours found on meditation warships so in my mind both could have been used
