Thanks Saul. Will get one of those also. I think the M1 and M2 were internal changes mostly. But they do have cammed paint schemes and so will be of visual interest to me.

Thanks everyone. Saul I looked on ebay but didnt see it. Will try again on weekend.
Got in a few minutes last night. Glued hull together and got some more of the tiny stuff on. I hope I can get more tonight and get to painting this weekend. This is a very straight forward kit, but full of tiny details.

So far the only fit issue has been where the spare tracks are. When I glued the hull together the tracks interfered with one of the track guard supports. I ended up trimming the support. Next time I'll glue hull all together before adding the extras and be able to see this before hand.

Got the itsy bitsy parts on and primer on the uppers.

Late to this thread, James, apologies. I think I clamboured over one of these at the Artillery Museum in St. Petersberg. The green tone fits right in with my memory, to me it looks like you 'nailed it' !!

Thanks guys. Yeah I like the shade of this green. It just seems right.
Okay I'm calling it done. I have a couple of areas the camera says to touch up. Lightly weathered and dusted and off it goes to work tomorrow. Oh wait I guess today.
