I still need to install the mantle cover and just last toutch up painting here and there. Weathering this tank will include driving it through mud, sand and dust :D

An amazing display of wood working skill and a blazin' fine AFV to boot. Thank you for showing the steps all the way to completion.The only tiny thing that caught my eye was the drive sprocket. Everything else is super detailed so it stuck out a lil' bit.
Thank you again,
Painless
...Money!? What's that!?...

Hi PainlessWolf

Thanx man!! ;) Ja, I wanted to mill them out and drill holes like the real deal which would've made them more realistic and lighter to ;) But as always i was eager to get it finished and didnt bother...
