Thanks Paul! I have the Passion Models detail set for the kit. It's 3D printed like the T-REX one. The Bronco indie link tracks don't quite fit the Tamiya kit so good thing you have the Fruil ones. 

The other bit of AM I'm using is the DEF Models mantlet with the canvas cover.

Thanks Carl. I was considering doing the kit without the mantlet cover like the Cuban Example. TREX makes a couple of versions ; early and late....which

to buy? Is the kit an Early or late Comet? I think the kit fabric cover looks ok to me.The TREX resin tracks look great but a failed attempt with their T55 tracks

has me worried....tiny pins and extremely fragile. Anyway I'm glad to see you're building the kit😀

I started weathering the Trotzky-mobil, Schneider tank and got heavily bored, I needed some fiddly and challenging stuff, so I started with the 1/20 Ebbro Lotus 49C.
I will use a load of extras, like aluminum funnels, rivets and fabric seatbelts. The kit has only a decal for the belts, that´s why I chose a set from MFH. They were indeed fiddly to assemble, but way better looking than a decal. Getting the 0,5 mm rivet into the top fasteners was nerve wrecking, but in the end, the driver's safety was ensured.
I may start a WIP, when I´m back from Portugal
