Adam the ability to take on the task of reproducing such a realistic scale piece is beyond the scope of anything I would consider attempting. Your work is worthy of a standing ovation :clap:

Brilliant work.
One thing to build a model close to a picture................quite another to build one off a real tank :O

That must be a hell of a feeling Mr Lav
To have an actual real-tank owner commission a build to replicate his own tank is a huge rap, and one that deserves full recognition.

Very well done and all credit to you Sir.

Herman, thank you for the kind words. It was great to meet Adrian at the war and peace show, we’ve become good friends now so rather handy I can sort my obsession with rc and real tanks in one hit :)

Glad you all like it :D
