HL has come a long way, to be honest if they offered a actual "kit" I would build one or a few, I just am one of those "Have to BUILD IT" people.

Also Part 5 is up!

Great update. thanks. so you finished the build and gonna paint this one. Looking forward to your choice of camo. The the colour wheels were an early approach to my knowledge. I once read it would help in spotting this tank as the wheels, while spinning, were wuite noticable.

You were discussing the metal none metal muzzle brake. You can alway go back and add the ABER brass piece later on and I tell you, it is a piece of beauty.

Looking very good , it has rolled along quite fast. Painting is always a what next , lots of camo variations to pic from .

Thanks guys,

I dove into the painting and got the camo done last night, I ended up just making up my own pattern as I went, should have the video uploaded tonight. next up will be painting all the stowage prior to any chipping or weathering. And this thing really needs some good weathering details with its big slabs of flat areas to give it some more depth and realism.

D.K.L.M for a brass one piece muzzle brake.Very nice and in stock.

Part 6!

Got busy today and made part 7, wheels and tracks weathered.

Build got shafted "quite literally" by a mismatched pair of gearboxes, I contacted Tamiya America monday and today got a pre-shipment tracking number so hopefully i'll be back on "track" soon.....sorry for all the puns.

Right side output shaft almost 3/8' shorter than the left one....

Part 8 is up, as is my blood pressure....

Took a while with the current situation but part 9 is up
