Thanks Murad. I'm not sure about brave. Maybe if I knew what I was taking on. Foolish would be much more appropriate. 🙂

Thanks Rui, John & Simon. 🙂
It really is an excellent kit - but make sure you carefully read the instructions and engage your brain as it's easy to stuff it up.

Gorby: it´s the result and the qualitiy that count, all´s well that ends well! May be your early quick builds were not quite as good as the late ones?

Thanks mates I'm glad you like it.
Neuling: One day I might get to be as good a modeller as you. Obliviously it won't be in this lifetime...perhaps the one after next. 😄

Nice build, Gorby!
Any problems with zimmerit during priming? Which primer did you use?

Oh, man! After seeing all the trouble you had with interior it's cool that you didn't drop the build.

Thanks mates. 👍
Random Penguin: I used a cheap rattle-can plastic primer from Halfords (a car accessories retailer) without any problems at all – other than the Zimm decals are quite brittle.
I never give up on a build – don't think 'cool' think 'unhealthy obsession'. 😉

I fixed the zimmerit on my kit by melting it down with plastic glue, so I wasn't sure if it would hold up to a can of primer. But since you say that everything is OK, then I probably will try. It's a pity I don't have much left of zimmerit except for Suyata's logo - there is almost nowhere to check how the chemistry will react with it.

It didn't occur to me there would be a problem with the primer and fortunately there wasn't. Give it a go and you'll probably find the same.
(PS If it's a disaster, I can delete this comment can't I?) 😄

I might need to give it some time until the mental scars heal. 😄
I'm more into 1/72 armour now (it's all Zsolt's fault I tell you!) and if anyone suggests building a 1/72 tank with an full interior, I won't be responsible for my actions. 😉

Really liking the results, Gorby 🙂 Your notes and comments ring true for soo many of us, I'm sure 🙂 Ah, impetuous youth, where are you now...? Our discerning 'eye' is so much more developed, I'm sure, but the satisfaction of doing a nice job is the same 🙂 (I still kick myself when clumsy fingers break off fragile parts.....)

John: I've concluded that any right-thinking person would agree that a tank model with a full interior is a ludicrous concept at whatever scale – 1/72 & 1/76 scale doubly so. Obviously if you don't agree I'm not going to categorise you as right thinking and therefore can be safely ignored. 😉
Thanks Bruce, I've reached the stage where I know when gluing a fragile part on that it's without doubt going to get broken off at some later point in the build. I find it always helps to have some favourite swear words on hand.

Thanks for your comment Mick, glad you like it.
As to best tank, Al Murray doesn't agree. 😄

Just so i know. Will anyone notice if i add JGSDF Iraq assistance team figs to my tank at the berlin wall moc? And if so is it really that historically innaculate?

Even if it is historically inaccurate what does it matter? There is no obligation to be completely true to history – your model your rules – only a tiny percentage of people would notice they were JGSDF troops anyway. If you decided to paint your tank sky blue with purple spots that would be entirely up to you.
Go for it.

and you can always add "what-if" to the title ,and then nobody can complain if you have a Roman legionaire using an AK-47 against an TIE fighter 😛

My multi-coloured T-34 is still on the to-do list. Spanjaard mush have been thinking of Martin's excellent build Kesa.
