Good Work Here Greg!
The only thing I would add is this. On the front of the turret are two ovals one on each side of the main gun. One is for an MG the other is for the site. I would paint them a really dark gray, almost black.

Other then that Awesoome tank build!

Hey Eric, are those ovals glass lens'? Or just metal painted darkly?

Finished it up real nice

Greg, this is awesome! One would think you had been building armor forever! This is much better than my tiny one.

If I recall, the two ovals are actually openings in the turret. By painting them a dark color that reflects their open state.

There is nothing inside but darkness so would opening them be a good idea?

Actually they are openings all the way through the cast steel. No glass or anything like that, just holes.

Ok, final image for this thread, then moving to the next project. Opening the holes was easy and effective!

Stunning job! That sure looks rode hard and put away wet, like all those Russian built tanks looked like during that war. Way to go!
