Thanks, my friends! Progress has been slow as there's a lot of other things going on in my life currently, but I managed to get to the bench for most of today. Here's what that wrought.
Painting lots of parts prior to assembly.

Hoping to get the fenders fitted and the exterior primed so I can build and install the tracks. Thanks for checking in. Stay tuned.

Tamiya SU-76M UPDATE 10/22/16
What a week it's been! Had to finalize all the details for the sale of my mother's home from 1000 miles away on top of my 6 day long work week and two doctor appointments. :huh: Needles to say, I didn't get as far this week as I'd planned and now I'm scrambling to finish. Here's where I am today.
Tools are painted, need a bit of touch up. The saw was painted with flat black, then a dab of AK Dark Steel pigment was rubbed on to simulate use.
Before:
After:
The real thing:
After looking at it on the monitor, I need more shine toward the brackets. Will correct that.
Last weekend, I added weld beads from Archer Fine Transfers but did not post any photos.
There's a short learning curve to using these beads, be sure to watch the tutorial at Archer's site before using them.
Fenders are dry fitted, I wanted to leave them loose to fit the tracks, but needed to locate the braces.
That's about all for now, waiting on stuff to dry before pressing on. Luckily, I have the next two days off, might make it yet. :frantic :frantic

Many thanks to all! I need some help!! I can't find a good color reference on the part C14 as highlighted below.
I am pretty certain it is a ranging pole, some have treated it as a gun cleaning rod, but that spike on the bottom says ranging pole. Thoughts?? :frantic
