Is this really coming from a guy that was missing for ( ? ) an unknown period of time
He may not be rolling but he's at least at idle :tomato

Thirteen months and you need an extension?

Thanks, guys! I really do appreciate the feedback. The tide is starting to turn and this is beginning to look like a gun. The kit tracks are a bear, I can't lie to you. They are fiddly, with the small attachment points not wanting to hold at the most inopportune moments. If I had it to do again, I would have bought a set of Friuls, but I had to go out of the box to see if I could still do it. I got the tracks whipped around noon, spent the rest of the afternoon painting more bits and pieces. Here's where we are now.
The monitor reveals areas that need touch up and adjustment that I can't see in person, will take steps to correct those. Next up, weathering and final assembly. That will have to wait until tomorrow as it's back to work for me tomorrow. Thanks for following along and checking in.

I Don't see nuttin' wrong with it chief...........
Hey on teh left side of the vehicle, there is something silver and pointy poking out there? What is that? I was thinking either a Pitot tube or a bayonet for thor a bayonet charge? (not really...I just like the thought of either of those on a tank)

The tracks look fine, made them look easy.

I still think it's a bayonet
WOW looking good Mike. Really like the extras you are doing. I would go for aiming rods also but from the one pic I found they dont have any stipres on them.
But this pic from Kagero says they are crow bars???

Oh yeah, I'm so mean Translate that to English and it means I missed your post :idonno You were gone a long time Thought maybe you broke a track :coolio
Anyhow, I can't complain about the lack of speed . I seem to be slower than Mike and don't even have a slip from the doctor .
Glad to see you back Tony !
GO MIKE ! It's starting to look the part . Waiting for more

Thank you so much, my friends, I'm glad you like it! Well, it's been a long road. This kit has presented some challenges, but it finally came together. I dug through my parts box and found some Archer dry transfers for the the numerals. The numerals were cut out and positioned with a bit of tape.
I used my ball tip burnisher to rub the numbers down.
And here is the finished photos, I didn't take any during the weathering process.
The leaves are from Ausfwerks, the rest of the schmutz is made of pigments and oils. Thanks for riding along and thank you for the extra couple days to finish.
