Lovely work to behold.

My problem now (it was an inferiority complex before...

).. is that the turret looks as if it's carved out of a block of Marzipan

(something I love...) and it's making me feel fairly hungry
Tasty looking tank all round!

Great work Freddy.
How durable do you expect the resin to be over plastic and metals found on other tanks?
Weight of the completed tank?

The tank weigh almost 5kg without electronics and that´s more than the styrene tanks I made.
My styrene tanks are designed/made of max. 3mm sheet thickness (very less parts doubled), but this resin have thickness of 4 - 5mm, so it´s stiffness is much better.
The problem of resin is, that not everybody can handle it (in some cases me too

), so the kit will be sold at first as "completed" tanks.

What an extraordinary build
Certainly a rare representation of a significant AFV in our time
