This was an interesting build. A long way from my comfortable Tamiya-zone experience. The antenna and the shovel were not fit for purpose, so I took a shovel from a 1:72 Opel Blitz and stretched some sprue for the antenna. Lost a lifting hook to a parallel quantum dimension off the end of my tweezers so I used the wire from a plastic tie strip. The gun attachment behind the mantlet looked like a dog had chewed it while it was still on the runner, so I cut a segment of bamboo chopstick that was the right diameter. The tracks seemed pretty good and formed nicely to the right shape, and then one of them snapped. I managed to bore the end of the gun out without destroying the plastic and without putting a hole in my finger. Quite pleased overall. I will give it a once over with primer and then I think it will look quite good with an olive drab base coat.
