Fuel tanks? They're for the Jim Beam supplies, Mick.

Appreciate the credits fellas. (pssst !- Jim Beam is Bourbon= I dont care
!!)
Added a tow cable,& some more snow effect in places, but not too much.
Jammed a stowage crate through the fuel tank straps on the left side and may add more to the rear. These Soviet blunt force instruments were at times quite raggedy-Anne looking.

Calling it folks...................
Made a stencil up from a printed out & resized decal set for Soviet tanks. Dabbed a brush over it, badda-bing-bbadda - boom.

You know me, I'm a big fan of these rough-and-ready Soviet tanks. You've done an outstanding job adding all the extra texture to emphasise that, Herman. The welds, torch marks, casting marks and whitewashed camouflage add so much visual interest; it really makes the whole model really pop. I love it!

I rather like that Herman
This weather worn look is so much better than my Taigen winter T34/85.
And I especially like the little touches of snow, as they say, "less is more," and I certainly think so in this case

Herman your winter effects make this tank rather menacing and it makes for a more intimidating beast for sure
