More Progress, I am done with the major hull components, now off to the turret, then I can start the small stuff. I added some view blocks, not sure I needed them, but better safe than sorry.
The muffler components - sweet!
I replaced the thin styrene guards with stainless steel - much less fragile!
Oh look more welds!

more and more i get the impression that this kit is light and shadow simultaneously! some aspects most sweet, some others quite basic and disappointing!
in any case your work is terrific! so clean and with so much TLC!

Wow, the scale is obviously too big... wait a second, if you didn't show me the photo of the actual wheel, I may not have noticed (OK, I would but most wouldn't). I do bet ALL would notice the details so...
correct DETAILS are more important than the size (in this case).

Great workJohn. Really nice scratch work.
I am usually a stickler fot the accuracy thing but I think your cast numbers will work fine.

OVM
Some serious sweetness is the On Vehicle Material in this kit. Can I wax poetic for a moment? Let's start with the tool clamps, Each comes in two parts, a top and bottom and really look the part. Most of the tools are spot on and require only some minor seam line clean up. The only exception are the jack block, which needs some woodgraining on the sides, the fire extinguisher, which needs a hinge and clasp for the nozzle cover, and the jack, which needs a knock out mark filled in a pretty difficult spot. I choose to just add some very thin strip stock over the entire area. I also had to make a new lift ring for the jack as the plastic one is so fine I destroyed it by accident. You also get to use some PE with the OVM (Yippie!)There are three PE "stops" that get added to the fenders for the pry bars and shove.
Oh yeah I added some missing rivets too..
Stay tuned...

Hi John.
It is looking very very nice. Especially all the things that you are doing to the kit to make it a 100 %er. It seems kind of discouraging though all the little things that Tasca did so well, while totally missing so many other things. But it is all good, cause now we all get to watch you do your magic.

Beautiful work John , big stuff is always cool to build [ you can see so much more of what you're doing :laugh: ]
Is this easier to trick out being bigger ?
I have just one question , ..... no expert here but aren't the drive housings bolted on with gaskets not welded on ?
This will look beautiful when painted !!!
