    Thanks Si, I could not have lived with the plastic tracks, probably would have tried some desperate measures to get them to sag. (might have involved fire) John, I have found these KOMO imports to be particularly lacking in the details department...that's what I get for trying to make models out of toys. Thank you both gents, for dropping by I shall try not to disappoint.
    Cheers Mates, Rick H.

        Thanks Mick, welcome to the world of small. It is a bit challenging at times but I do enjoy it. Here's how it looks so far.
        Thanks for dropping in.

            I'm with you on that. Took six years from the time he first mentioned them to me in conversation to final execution. Definitely worth the wait.

              Rick as Mick has rightly pointed out not toy looking now.
              Love the upgrades.
              John.

                  Stunning work Rick. The additions are wonderful and so neat and clean. A terrific build.

                    Rick,
                    All I can say is better you than me. You have advanced what is in some quarters just a toy and elevated it to a display model - well done. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
                    Mike.

                      Thank you Gents, I'm getting closer to what I had envisioned this to be. Thanks again for your support and kind remarks.
                      Cheers, Rick H.

                                Thank you all for your comments and support. Steven, it has built up better than I thought it would. Glad you like it. Paul, glad you dropped by. Your interest and comments mean a lot.
                                Steve, still some finish up work on the turret and more small detailing to do. I use Model Masters
                                enamel, so it will be their Russian Armor green with a cut of white mixed in for "scale effect".
                                Cheers, Rick H.
