Top drawer work sir, well done.

Thank you Monsieur Tox and Mr. Ad Lav!

I am Officially calling this build finished. When the weather warms up I will attempt some out door photography. I added a couple wash layers. Then I built the plates that were used to keep the VVSS from squatting when in crane and tow modes. I made six and picked my favorite four. Installed a pair on the front bogies.

Nice details!

I call this a breathless build, Ecam: done breathlessly quickly, with detail that leaves one breathless in amazement. I sure wish I could meet this build in person: would you like to send it to me for inspection and safe keeping?

I'll think about it Herr. Doc.

I feel it should be named the 60 day wonder, as I was surprised how good it came out (sure wasn't expecting that). I am working on a sideline companion re-do of that towed tank in the last video. I'll hold off on the pictures for now. But it is fun and cheap. That first tank was started late November 2015, three weeks later I called it finished. It had a minor revamp for a 75 conversion, but I think it is ready for a re-work as I have a couple projects under my belt and have learned a thing or two.

Not intended to be scale or really that accurate, but I wanted some "guts" to go with this video.


The interior lifts out. Converts back to working RC in a short time.

Eric, in your photo of the hull interior insert, I see--Ohmygosh! Incredibly sophisticated scratch-building, ingenious detailing, and there for all the world to see, the venerable, infamous finger-printing, oozing-outing, orange tube of Testor's thick glue. I love it!

Technically it was a thumb print when the paint was not dry enough. And yes my glue tube was nearly empty so coaxing out what was left was sketchy!

"Not intended to be scale or really that accurate", should have added or neat.

Eric, I didn't see any thumb prints on your M4 interior or turret basket. Rather, I was in the world of my long-distant youth, getting thumb and finger prints all over model airplane halves as I used Testor's Orange tube glue to hide seams. (It does work, but wipes out any panel line detail either side of the seam.)

This is all lovely work. Simply amazing. Would love to see this in operation.
