Start of bogies. IMO 19 parts is a few too many.

Rear engine deck nearing completion. I left off the latches and travel lock as the rear deck is going to have a stowage set on it.

Gun barrel looks ginormous from this aspect...

Turret nearly done
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/1/1/9/1321119-31289-91-720.jpg)
Main build completed. Will paint the bogie assemblies separately and then put them on after.

Starting in some damage. chunks on the road wheels, damaged fender. Upon closer inspection of my reference photo, it seems both lights are missing on the LH side, so some kind of battle damage there. I'll have to take them out.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/3/7/3/1322373-31289-32-720.jpg)
Starting painting wit the turret first. I like brush painting armor base coats, I like the heavier coat and rougher finish.

Finished and installed track armor as per reference photo. Both headlights are actually removed on reference photo, so removed the RH on the model as well. Installed baggage hanging rail on RH side of turret and painted in the convoy code.

Thanks! I'm hoping I can do it justice! Won't be any new pics for a couple days until I chew my way through the suspension. 19 parts per unit is a bit excessive in my opinion, but they go together nicely enough.

Thank you! This kit is very detailed, in my opinion, a little bit more complexity than necessary when building, but it builds up nicely so far.
