Thanks. I am at the weathering stage which is completely new for me. A few mistakes made during this project but it's all there and I didn't lose any parts to the carpet monster 🙂

Well done. Mistakes are how we learn. The only real mistake are the ones we keep making 😜. Weathering is my favorite part of any of my builds. Careful…. It can be addictive.

Thanks, Jonathon. All in all, I am pretty happy with it and I am going to call it done now and move on to the next project and the completion of a couple of things already on the workbench.

Nice build 👍, having not yet built an Airfix/Academy 1/35 tank yet, what was the kit like?

Guy, the kit is very good. I can't recall any fit problems and there was very little flash. There are plenty of VERY small parts so beware the carpet monster. It's sometimes slightly tricky to figure out what goes with which option of two.
There are some internal parts that I don't quite see the point of, given there is no real view of the interior, including shells. The tracks are the rubber band variety which was fine for my first tank. It was a fun build. If I was bothered about the crew, a better aftermarket set would be a good option but I didn't want to ramp up the cost.
My next tank is a 1/48 Tamiya Challenger II so I will be interested to compare the scale and the kits.
