Somewhat done. I guess...

Camo was sprayed freehand (Badger 150/medium nozzle/Tamiya Acrylics). Still new to the weathering/chipping business... and got a long way to go it seems 🙂 Chipped by brush and the rest was done with oils.

First try at a bedroll made from Milliput. Brushpainted with Revell Enamels and washed with oils. Straps scratched from winebottle foil.

Top view. I overdid it on the tracks a little bit... Don't want to mess up the upper part though. I'll leave it at that.

Saw the spare tracks on a similar type of tank while browsing reference pics, I could imagine crews adding them. Links taken from the kit spares and holders scratched with scrap PE and some stretched sprue.

I'm sort of happy with the headlight cage... not so happy with the alignment of the headlights. I was too slow for the CA glue :>

Thanks guys🙂👍
I still need a bit of work with keeping the weathering in different areas balanced. Plus advancing my photography skills. All in all I'm quite content though.
Maybe I'll add a few more detail pics when the clouds over Berlin part again 👍
