Thank you Spanjaard and Villiers. Yes, a classic indeed, but as always with a few issues. As the saying goes "some days a diamond , some days a stone". Today was a stone...

The issues I found were with the lower hull and the rear panel. These have to be carefully lined up or it can affect the fit with the upper hull. The turret was slightly warped which affected the fit with the turret ring and how it sits on top of the hull. The most annoying issue so far is the fitting of the side skirt brackets to the frame and the frame to the hull. The sprue gates for the brackets are on the mating surface so if you don't file them perfectly flat, they are out of line. And in a complete brain fart on behalf of Tamiya they designed the kit in such a way that if you attach all the tool racks etc on the the right hand side of the hull using the mounting holes, it prevents you attaching the side skirt frame properly, because the tools end up too low on the hull side. In the end I had to break off the jack block and some of the tool clamps to make the frame fit on the side. Not happy!

Beware. Zero paints are VERY hot and can affect your plastic, even through a primer. Use a 2k primer, or spray many very thin layers of paint with ample drying time in between.

Thank Martin. Yes, I know. I have used Zero Paints before. Using Mr. Priming Surfacer as a primer which is pretty robust and (at least trying) to spray the Zero paint in thin layers I did manage to have only very little crazing. Actually the Zero paint dry quite fast - I only wait several minutes between (thin) layers.

Oh this looks great Markus! 👀 👍
I am also having trouble with AK's Still Water. Didn't quite figure out yet how to use it well and I keep getting air bubbles.
