Looking good. Might want to visit those smoke dischargers on the turret. They look to be mounted upside down. :)

Man, good eye. I can’t believe I didn’t notice that.

The model came like this, with a T-90 sound set and upside down smoke grenade launchers. Hopefully they just put them upside down in the wrong sides and all I have to do is unscrew them and move them.

I just checked their promotional videos for this tank on YouTube, they are all upside down on them as well

The CROWS still isn’t on yet, I got distracted 3D printing stuff for the drivers hatch and making a new speaker that fits inside the hull better.

Made my own periscope insert and rain guard lip. Going to reprint the insert in black tomorrow, put in a 1 mm piece of lexan for glass, some of that shiny film for the two other periscopes, slap some wipers on, stick the camera in. Sand and glue the rain guard and dremel a little notch in the middle.

The CROWS has some inaccuracies that are bugging me that I want to fix before assembling it, but that’ll be next. I’m really itching to get that on there.
