Watching... I'm building this kit as well right now, but not doing the kind of extra detailing that you are.

Bear in mind that the Caunter scheme wasn't blue – it was a silver-grey colour. The Bovington Tank museum thought the faded silver-grey looked like pale blue and repainted it with the wrong colour… and then Tamiya and pretty much everyone else, copied them.
If you Google 'Caunter scheme' it will show you the correct colours.
But… if you like the blue then go for it.😉

If I can add that color pattern on Tamiya plan is wrong, too. Caunter scheme is basically always the same. Pattern on the upper back side of the engine compartment should go all the way to the back. And, Caunter scheme was hand painted and there ara no perfectly straight lines, they didn't use the tape as we do.

Watching as I'm building one as well. I found the fit of the parts on this kit to be very precise. So far it's been very enjoyable, hope you find it the same.

Ben M, yes, the plastic is great. I don't have any troubles with fitting and assembly. So I create all my troubles myself 🙂

The problems I have are when the cat visits my workbench when I am not around. The rear view mirror keeps getting broken off and the radio antenna gets bent

Sad to hear, but I think that cats love panzers too🙂 Anyway, I think this parts are easy to repair or scratch build
