Looks great Jeff! Seeing all that work on the tracks makes me glad i don't build 1/35th scale! I bow to you my brother!

Bucky, is that pic in your signature a shot that your wife took of you adding P/E to your model? Good form buddy, I commend you!

And to finish up, tools blocked out.

Thanks, Joe.

John, all in all it's a nice kit. Fit and moldings are good. Tons of detail but that leads to a very high parts count. Two examples. The upper Hull has 6 steps and the turret, including the basket, has 13.

Turned into a lot bigger build than I figured.
