Turret, wheels, all waiting for the tracks to be done

Here is why the tracks are not done yet

Test-fitting a portion of the tracks. In the end, wasn't as bad as I imagined

Even more progress. Now I'm curious, how I'll close the loop. Mr Cement S disappoints a bit, even after leaving for some time, the tracks are still very brittle and fall apart.

Construction complete. A few small parts forever lost, 4BO applied with regards to MRP. First time trying MRP, what a difference vs Vallejo. Applied wash around rivets.

A view from the front, doors don't quite fit, but for a first tank built by soviet workers, this is to be expected.

The Renault FT, now 50% more Soviet!😉

Nice Little tracks & great start - even the Pravda would approve the stylish BW pictures! (Maybe with some "Lenin inside" retouched in here & there...)

Where did the plastic effect on the big (spanner?) wheels come from - looks very nice too 👍 Looking forward for the next steps, the track-marathon should pay-off when completed!

Track marathon is now finished. Took a while, especially as I wanted to paint them off-model. In the end, I think I swapped a portion of tracks between sides when gluing them on, resulting in 1 extra on one side and one missing on the other. Mud will need to come to rescue 🙂

The BW pics look classy - nice work on this tiny brave vehicle 👍 Looking forward to the full color pics, those tracks really look great! (I had a sneak peak...)
