Hi, good to see youback on this. Don´t worry about this being a long build. Building is the most fun, so enjoy it.

For the tracks on the RC tank I would say, go for the ready made steel tracks. But for the static kit? What was I saying again about the build part?

: Cut out outer locating flange, cant fit if rear tanks support is glued in.

: tight fit , need magnets to tie in ducts and pipes if i want to remove .

Back onto this ,managed to mix tamiya colours for interior. Not perfect but it will do. Made up some sub assembly units and painted , tried for fit. Painted some shells and sat them in , brass needs toned down. Almost worked out a way to enable engine removal, Should have not glued the support panel for the filler tanks behind engine.

: Almost got the colour

: Turret floor surround in to check paint line

: Hull is starting to progress, some shells in to check the racks

Some paint and filling up the lower hull, still have the radio gear to do . Radio has 50 parts and half is PE,then finding a way to to fix it onto the transmission rather than off the hull deck.

: Lower hull getting busy

: toned down interior for lived in look

: Engine in , a lot of head scratching working out how to fit and able to remove.

: Thinking about some cable and hoses for the steering gear etc.

Very nice! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a detailed interior. Looks like those cutaway drawings in books.

Thanks Jimster A lot of 1/35 builds about , its hard enough doing it in 1/16 . Don't know how they manage to do it in the smaller scale.

Fixing a couple of shell racks, don't want to glue them in . Some glue to soften the bond and hold down till it sets, will use some shells to sit on my rc panthers.
