I was totally oblivious that figure knock offs was a thing.

My excuse was ignorance. I literally didn't know.

1 and 7/8ths. Not quite 2 inches wide.

I added the texture to hide the ejection pin marks. I can see there's still a few that need work.

They were no name knock offs from ebay. The SoL commander copy peddled by Benjia is in China. The soldier came from a distributor in the states.

Went ahead and added the spare tracks permanently to the turret because I already have a gazillion loose pieces to paint. I drilled out the filter's mounting blocks for the bolts that wouldn't be on after they were removed. I'm not sure whether #02 had the stern launchers. The mid and forward...

Coming from a life long eyeballer (me)...this is impressive!

Getting close to paint. Tow cables and a few other pieces left to build.

I re-stock my sticks when my wife goes to the Sally's beauty supply.

I wear out sanding sticks on the big scale stuff. Seam lines, and the multiple larger sprue gates for each part.

The hull is the only thing glued up. Tools, cables, wheels, sprockets and even the track links are loose.

I didn't spend any time on sanding seam lines and such on the parts inside the turrent as it will never be seen. I built it up because it was there and it offers a...

Thanks Ian!

A little more work. Got the tools and track cable put together. I also had to modify the kit's hold down clamp bar for the feifel tubes. I wondered if they would've left them on after removing the filters. In the pic of a stuck Tiger that has a good view of the rear deck they clearly left...

The pic of it on the model is my fix.

Takom & Das Werk both mold the jack block wood in the same way wrong. It's a pretty easy fix, though.

Thanks Paul. I winged the fasteners on the V duct. Really can't tell what they actually looked like and I don't wanna know either...haha.

Thanks Mike!

When the launch was halted at T minus 10 minutes I guess it was wrong of me to say to my wife that the lady just told the rest of the crew she had to pee.
