Christian MeyerhoffWell, nice build so far. A little bit weathering would make it perfect. Give it a try mate!

Mike KNice build...and yes, weathering would totally bring it to life! BTW does this kit have individual tracks?

Curtis CadenThanks Mike and Christian for the encouragement. Just starting to learn about weathering techniques. The model would lend itself to weathering. I have also found on the web where the side guns can be replaced with aluminum ones. The kit is very detailed and the tracks are each 87 individual links that have to be painted Dark Iron. The good news is that the track links are snap together and there was enough stretch to make the final connection and have them fit tightly to the motorized model. I have not powered the tank up yet.

Christian MeyerhoffWell Curtis, to try some weathering an old model would be a perfect training subject. Just give it a try!

H KCurtis don`t let the internet overwhelm you. Start simple and easy with a wash for example.
