Construction
Basically, one afternoon of work.
Some rear details. It's nice that the exhaust was molded.
Breaking it down into modules. Storage boxes + crewman + drive wheels.
Hull. As usual a lot more work to do here.
Front plate.
Lower hull. I like the smart construction of this part.
Bottom. Nobody will ever see those details anyway.
The turret fits without a single use of putty. And looks good indeed!
Back of the turret.
Bare bottom. Crew seats are doubling as a stands for figures.
Side grills in position. Though they will be mostly covered, the look would be better.
Yes... mostly covered 🙂
BESA barrells added and also antenna fittings changed to brass ones.
And here's a side view.
Front plate mostly done.
Rear grill. Way better than the mesh provided in set.
Close up on replaced BESA barrell.
I think that decision of replacing the original barrel is obvious.
That's the included peashooter...
And this looks more menacing 😉
Side view.
Front BESA gun. It's only a shame that only the front would be visible.
Comparison of smoke dischargers.
Side view.
And now for the merry men. Tank commander + MIniArt tank riders.
That's the idea of placing the figures at this point. It might be changed though...
And the other angle.

Fabian D.looking good so far 👍
a pretty nice kit, with some aftermarket this can only be a burner, I especially like the subtile texture Tamiya did on the main amrour...

Album info
I'd say that it's basically OOB, but as the work progresses and I'm seeing more and more places that needs improvement, this might be an understatement.
So it will be a "minor detailing".
