Couple more little bits added including the mesh grill in the rear stowage bin and the small holders for the tow ropes on the side of the turret.
Lots more to add to start really bringing it to life

Sadly there are no 1/8 scale items for these tanks other than jerry cans that I found (if anyone knows of any suppliers ) Also my ones missing the second gun and apparently they can no longer get hold of them :( ANY IDEAS GUYS !
Cheers

Hi Andrew, ok it looks much like mine so your point of contact for spares will be Mark-1-tanks. They are the sole distributor for these tanks that originate from Russia. Whats wrong with your tracks ? as I think a new set costs a fair few ££ also I notice the rear stowage bin is missing, do you have it ?
