Thank you friends for your words!

Since the vehicle had no turret or cannon, I tried to do a nice paint job and decorate it with different extras.

I would like to highlight how really small it is, dimensions of approximately 32x15x15cm. A photo to compare with two figures and the panther turret (heng long):

Great work, Edumardo! And you can tell that's sincere praise because it comes from an "Edward" (a.k.a. Herr Dr. Professor a.k.a. HDP). Among all the fine work, I point out one detail that demonstrates your skill: the rusting, crusting, and "unburned hydrocarbon" blackening on the exhaust. And I do want to ask about the red and white striped pole. Was that for use to help tankers find the ammunition behind the line?

Those are ranging poles HDP.
Used to align the gun onto its optimum firing axis .

I don't know for now, some parts I modified ad-hoc and some tools are not my design.

Anyway, it's a pretty weird model. Would anyone be interested? :haha:
