![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/2/8/2/1496282-28072-88-720.jpg)
Brought this kit to work so I build while on my breaks/lunch

As I’m gifting this to a coworker this is the scheme he wants.

My basic tool setup I brought work to build

First day I managed to get one track run finished
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/2/7/3/1496273-28072-19-720.jpg)
Altered the tracks a bit to minimize any gaps

Day 2: Second run complete and this is where I realized I put the tracks on backwards

Day three the start of the hull
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/2/7/8/1496278-28072-71-720.jpg)
Some more work on the hull and start of the turret
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/2/7/7/1496277-28072-48-720.jpg)
Day four: turret work
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/2/7/9/1496279-28072-73-720.jpg)
Day 5 or 5.5hrs it’s pretty much complete. The skirts aren’t attached until I paint the lower hull and tracks. It’s been a fun quick build so far
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/2/0/2/1505202-28072-84-720.jpg)
Construction is complete primer and paint next. Humidity and heat killed my painting sessions this month

Decals and weathering next
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/7/5/6/1583756-28072-69-720.jpg)
Not my best work but I’m calling it done
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/7/5/7/1583757-28072-45-720.jpg)
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/7/5/8/1583758-28072-72-720.jpg)
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/7/5/9/1583759-28072-63-720.jpg)
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/7/6/0/1583760-28072-69-720.jpg)
I’ll say 5.5hrs for build and approximately 5 hours for paint and weathering. Might be a little longer for paint/weathering
