Bit more of an update.
I did forget to take some photos of painting some parts but I got some of it.
So far iv painted the exhaust box with a mix of Rust and german gray.That gave it a good look glued the parts together then touched it up with rust.
and glued it into place.
Also glued these little covers in place. 
then i put these parts on.

So a little late as I thought I had posted about this already.
But did some more on the first steps. Including cutting part of the casting out of the hull and then cleaning the sides of the plate that goes in the hole. Looks quite neat and not very noticeable that it was a separate part.
I have noticed with this model that the parts seam very well made so fit very well.
Also put the track tensioners on the back with the rest. I did find I had to clean the paint off some parts as they fitted so tightly it was causing issues.
And lastly I just test fitted the back plate to the hull. Again it fits perfectly into place.

Some more details on the back also mixed a paint for the exhaust and little thing on the back. Mixed a water based rust and oil based black. Didn't think they would mix but I managed to get them to mix and it looks great.
The back.
the front.
figured out that they are sloping toward eachother slightly. Almost didn't see it but I had seen on the tank in WarThunder. So was actually looking to see if it was sloped on the model.
and last but not least the exhaust box. Before. A mix of Rust and Gunmetal.looked a bit too shiny for my liking
After. Also tryed to keep the mounting bands clean of this rusty looking color.

Little bit of progress.
Was trying to paint some of the bigger parts with my paint gun but it didn't want to work so gave up. Planning on buying a more expensive paint gun as the one I currently have was only cheap and we believe it's blocked somewhere that it can't be cleaned iris stopping it working properly.
But here are a few little details iv done

Yeah I was quite surprised as I didn't see any mention of any interior ether but more than happy to give it a try. Also you can see small details like weld marks as well on the casting
Hopefully these videos will help with colours for the interior and exterior as well. Always liked these detailed looks and great to be able to use one for a model https://youtu.be/94yvc_BB-2M

Nice to see a turret basket, nice touch. I doubt if I’ll ever do a full interior on a tank.......never say never.....

Well took a little longer than I thought it would but it looks better now and the shells and ammunition box look nice and clean.
The Gun
And the Ammunition Box casings and shells.
I believe I got the shells quite good. Took about of effort getting the right colour for them

Up next is a German panzer 4 ausf H.
I'm pretty sure this is the H variant although it's labeled as G on the box
This model is from the maker ZVEZDA I haven't made any models from this company before but they looked pretty good and had decent reviews so I thought I'd give one a go.
Pictures of the box. Whitch is more of a cover as all the model is in a plain cardboard box inside this
Pictures of the parts and frames.

Well I have started on the suspension now. The brake drums are free to turn on the axle and the wheels slot into the hole on them when I install the. And will turn with the drums.

Nice work. As an artillery man, I can tell you that those legs are called "trails".
This is an M198 155mm towed Howitzer. Four strong men could lift the trails from or to the pintle at the back of a 5-ton truck.
Oow intresting thanks for the information

Well it took some fiddling but I got the fun shield on. Looks good too. The barrel can still slide along it's carrier too.

Well done the gun shield now. Just need to touch up the paint and should be ready for the next step.
Parts
The middle part of the gun shield don't actually know what it's called but it moves up and down with the gun barrel.
and the last few pieces

Well it's been a while but I'm back at it.
First off I cut some of the frame away to paint these little parts easier
I painted the rest of the suspension arms and they came out quite nicely if I do say so myself.
Also painted these small handles that go on the towing hooks on the front.
Applied a 2nd coat of paint to the covers for the transmission and a 1st coat to the upper front plate as well as test fitting that pice.
