Top job mate! Really nice! It doesn't look like a 72nd scale kit. I really want to see this one painted.

Thanks for the comments and for tagging along again chaps . Vlad you're right, these are fun kits if you like plenty of work and have loads of patience . Today I fiddled the link and length tracks onto the running gear , link and length in 1/72 are not funny . You also need to sand all the connecting points a tad, other wise they don't join up , also the little toads don't really react to TET, it takes ages for the glue to set . Anyway, I'll get cracking on some turret detail now. ACACW chaps
Having built at least ten of these Modelcollect kits, I never had that issue with the tracks. Mine fit well and reacted well to Tamiya glues.
Your turret looks great and since this is a Syrian one; good on you for adding more reaction blocks. The Syrians aren't well known for full conformity. I like this and I'm having a blast following along with this. Keep it coming man!

Duke cheers ole chap . As for the tracks, well I seem to attract odd issues like this, it's as if the companies make one extra kit for me. And they see to it that something isn't quite right in there . Okay dudes, here's the ERA blocks on the skirts .

Guy, Boots, Steve, Joe, Pete, you're all too kind fellas, thanks very much . I had a good day at the bench today . I've finished off the build with getting the frontal ERA blocks in place, adding the last turret bits and adding one fuel drum with fuel lines. Despite all the nice detail on here, MC didn't add anything to the inside of the gunners hatch . So I added my own detail made from white stuff, I might swap the handles for something PE if I can find summat suitable. As always ACACW

Brilliant work Paul! Those side skirt reactive armor look perfect for a Syrian brute! Glacis plate looks perfect as well. You got this man, what a magnificent build!

Paul, that looks amazing. Nice touch with ERA blocks hanging off as well. Those bricks became a hot mess in a war zone. I also didn't know the Syrians had the -72s with the later ERA configuration on the turret. This is really going to be cool looking.
Best wishes,
Ian
