Looks good. Tracks are often not well represented but I think you did well.

I agree with that mate, what is your colour combination ?

Herman here are the colours , just kept on mixing until i had a colour a little darker in the bottle. Tamiya LP 61, LP 13, LP 40, LP 62 and MR hobby 217. Should buy a few brown and green Lacquer ones to try other mixes for tracks. Some say that they are tougher than acrylics.

Put a magnet into the tow cable , stops it moving about and easy to remove for opening up hull.

: Exhaust covers need work to blend in paint .

Almost finished, cant find the fire extinguisher or the other half of the starter handle. Dirtied the tank up with some oils, a couple of streaks to fix.
