I also noticed those bumps and I took a nail file to them before I painted it. To the naked eye under normal light they are gone but under the bright studio lights I focused right on it for pictures they still show up

Maybe some Mr Surfacer could resolve this?

JNB,
Good Morning! The add-on armor, paint and weathering are _spectacular_! The only thing I can niggle about are the holes in the sprockets and idlers where the mounting screws go. ( and the perfect, plastic tow rope coil but hey! ;o) Some sanding, a few magnets and a set of plastic covers would be the cherry on top of this Eye Candy Sunday. Thank you for sharing.
regards,
Painless

Awesome finish! All the great weathering effects makes any little imperfections disappear to my inexperienced eyes.

Apologies, Gentlemen,
I always seem to be that guy. You know the one who sees the beautifully painted and weathered tank and immediately, my gaze is drawn as if magnetized to the HL 'frogeye' headlights which were left uncorrected. ( just as an example ) It is my flaw and no one else'. I apologize sincerely.
regards,
Painless

Hell, I don’t notice some things on my tanks until I post a pic, then I’ll see the glaring mistakes or omissions. I think it’s good to have other eyes to critique our efforts.

Not at all, no apologizes needed! my ego is intact! I am the same as you and it stops me from even posting comments most of the time, I hear that nagging voice say "if you don't have anything positive to say..."

When I was first getting back into models and posting some early builds on the internet they were torn apart with criticism but I took it as a challenge to get better and I did. However I also know that there are a lot of the other type of person, the type that cant handle criticism and give up on their pursuits if criticized or worse take it as a personal attack. I would hate to be the person who inadvertently caused a person to give up on themselves. I have watched your work closely for years and I value your input!

I remember starting on RC tanks and hating that hole on the sprocket so I filled it only to be scolded for doing so as that's the only way to take the wheel off (something that is reportedly important for RC users)

I would like to see what you mean by "magnetic covers"?
