Count me in, I am planing to do the same tank and figure. ?
Thx for your hint about the wheels. If you want the tank close to the original, you'll have to look for aftermarket decals. The heraldry from Takom is inverted.

Looking forward for your further progress

Ricardo Reis
Welcome. I didn't about about errors in the decals. What is the "heraldry"?

Moritz Fentzahn
The white red checkerboard badge. The Takom decal starts with the wrong color

Ricardo Reis
🙁 🙁 🙁

I've been reading the build of Andy Moore in "The Modelling News" and apparently he assembled the wheels as per instructions and painted them... and it seems to work well! Article here, with the photos in the bottom showing the wheels with the rim: themodellingnews.com..hes-takoms-35th.html

Scott
Excellent

Ricardo Reis
Thank you Scott. It's a nice build, despite the inaccuracies.

Ricardo, que cola(s) usas para as Foto–gravadas?
Obrigado

Ricardo Reis
Olá Nelson. Nestes estou a usar Slow Dry Cyanoacrylate da Ammo porque as zonas de colagem têm que ficar muito limpas (migjimenez.com/en/au..y-cyanoacrylate.html). Quando posso "sujar" um pouco mais, prefiro usar a Ultra Glue, também da Ammo, porque dá muito mais tempo e limpa-se com água (migjimenez.com/en/au..1935-ultra-glue.html).

Nelson Paulo
Um gosto acompanhar estas montagens e aprender pelo caminho.

Ricardo Reis
Obrigado Nelson, um abraço!

It looks a bit more colourful than the box art. I like it. 👍

Ricardo Reis
Indeed! Thank you @WhiteGlint.

Tino Delgado

Ricardo Reis
Obrigado @Tino! 🙂

Ricardo Reis
Model is finished, moving now to the base (and figure) that will make up a small scene

Konrad -
Very nice Ricardo! Looking forward to your small planned scenery👍!

Ricardo Reis
Thank you @Konrad, it'll be simples, just a figure and a chair with some bottles... maybe a concrete barrier... 🙂 😛

Micky
Excellent work Ricardo!, as usual.

Spanjaard
looking good 🙂

Ricardo Reis
Thanks mates - also contemplating toning down the blue "Marina" letter... not sure... I like them as they are, but sometimes I look at the pics from the real tank and I'm not sure...

Konrad -
In my opinion it looks good as it is. Makes it special.

James C
Looking awesome 👍

Ricardo Reis
Thank you @James; @Konrad, I'll set it aside and decide when I integrate it in the base
