Good God Iain that is an absolute marvel, it looks incredibly good, and it's probably the only one on the planet. You are a modelling genius!

Its a scratch build I have thought about myself and you have managed it quite brilliantly. Are you planning to make track duckbill end connectors? maybe they could be etched or 3d printed? Guy

Hi there guy

I been looking at ways to make the duck bill tracks ...There is not any way of doing it with out spending a fortune ..so for now I will stick with the standard pershing tracks ....

Hi all

Has any one got some ideas about some sort of post war camo paint job....I've looked around
And foul black was fairly common ...but it's a big tank and I like to break it up a bit

Ideas and comments most welcome
