Oh, how i can imagine that sound. Got one large speaker with box from tankmodellbau. That sounds like the life beast. Rumble, gurgle, a real solid sound. Following along

Evening all,
Thank you, Soeren! I think you will enjoy the end results ( + video links ) Today I was out for most of the day running errands. I did get in a few minutes once home to tweak the TD for painting. I removed the tracks, sprockets and idlers and cleaned them up. I discovered a stripped screw holding the radiomans side Idler on and replaced it for a new one. Easy Peasy. ) Every road wheel rolled along fine. ( Thanks Jack! ) All of the running gear will get a thorough lube job once the painting is done. Just a couple of pics tonight, more to follow tomorrow.

Today was a great day to do more prep work. The sprockets and idlers got primered and painted using Tamiyas grey metal and plastic primer and Model Masters Olive Drab. After that, I put the tin roof back on since the turret insides are going to be a detail paint job. The rest of the TD was primered with two good coats of the Tamiya. It really is excellent stuff. Tomorrow afternoon, I should be able to paint it. Pics:

Makes all the detailwork go together nicely. Great job

Yes the paint brings out all the details and hard work

This is going to so good I can't wait to see it with the olive drab top coat - as others say, the primer coat really shows off all that detail, just outstanding really
I'm also looking forward to seeing that interior in all it's glory!

Damn man I'm sorry I thought I fixed all the messed up screws! Sorry.

Good evening, Gentlemen! Deep coats of the Olive Drab are complete. They will form a nice base to do detail painting and weathering.
Soeren, Thanks, again, sir! The Tamiya primer has proven to me that it works so well with the Model Masters time and again.
Carl, I'm glad you like it, my Friend. It's another step closer to completing this RTR ( right ) Build. ;o)
Doc Phibes, Request made and granted, sir! Beginning work on the detail painting tomorrow also.
Jack, It was the work of a minute to replace. ;o) You can't catch everything, MATO is too wily.

Fantastic job Mr Painless now she is really looking the part that is some really nice paint you are working with( cudos to you too for being able to paint so nice as well) .

I've always marveled at the way metal tanks and vehicles come out ....considering the surface you are working with can be less forgiving than plastic or resin.

Very convincing job on this TD
