I attached the cupola via a magnet, to leave it rotatable. If building it for a second time - I'd leave the kit's smoke launchers as they are much closer to ones from the source photographs. I rolled the PE and filled them with some brass rods.
Spare tracks are - surprisingly - spare tracks that were left from the separate track kit. Those that come with the kit, are too small and have nasty ejector marks from the visible side.
Wojciech Kucza Hey all, many thanks for the kind words and I'm very glad you like it! I only found that I almost run out of place in my display case now! 🙂
It is done! The tank at least - base is to follow as soon as I'll get a good and doable idea.
It was a nice build. Maybe not as straightforward like some Tamiya kits, but nevertheless without any major stopping obstacles and things that need major reworking.
Of course it can be even more detailed and corrected here and there, but that would be nothing short of rivet counting then.
The only major thing that I regret not doing is making it with a working hydropneumatic suspension, which is easily doable, but I found it out too late when only one wheel arm went loose. All other unfortunately were glued much better... 😉
