Hears a small update. 

I have sprayed the small wheels that the tracks rest on brown. May try splatter them with some weathering. Also painted the exhaust boxes as well as a couple other parts that are to do with the exhaust. And also sprayed the muzzle brake with the same colour as I mixed it myself. And it looked like a burned colour and it looks good

So just put together a gun and mantlet that I don't intend to use. And fitted it to the turret with some blue tack to see what it looks like. There should be a muzzle brake on the barrel but there is only one in the set and I intend to use it on the gun I actually want to fit to the tank.

right i am back almost a year since i touched this wow. doing the periscopes and front hatches driver and bow gunner i belive

I believe the instructions intend for the hatches to be glues down but I have left them free. The pices are too small for me to make a hinge so I'll just leave them loos for now. I propped them open with some tooth picks

I'll add pictures soon

Well things just went wrong.

Was painting the two track sections for the front of the tank and I have a lamp with a magnefying glass and it gets hot. I went to get a drink and it moved and the heat melted the parts.

Going to try and get some replacement parts from TAKOM.

I did some more work on the track guards. Cleaning them up attaching the speaker and cover and glueing the handles to the storage boxs and the boxes to the guardsIMG_20191217_175641526.thumb.jpg.0e2975e1c0e6c6ec20f9eba197e485dd.jpgspeaker

Touched up the paint again. And glued the Track guards to the tank along with the storage boxes. Then fitted all the tools. They look good. Took some time painting them all nice. Not quite the right colours on a couple but you wouldn't know unless you were a tank nutIMG_20191219_163512897.thumb.jpg.ef507aa2e6caa86c9e238ab8f5ba97e6.jpgcant say how happy I am with that spade. Took alot of patience to get that paint perfect and I don't think I could have done it like that last yearIMG_20191219_171940855.thumb.jpg.b4d689494c6f2014200ab14e7c247f87.jpgIMG_20191219_171952479.thumb.jpg.98f85a7c0da4bcf9cef39c3a660f2cba.jpg
