Thank you Marco, Paul, Pete, Boots & Tommy. Much appreciated chaps. I used an elastic band and little block to gently hold the centre of the track in place whilst the glue set. The photo highlighted a link at the front being slightly out of position. I had given it several coats of looking at, and still missed it 🙄 I've cleaned the excess wash off of the hull lid, and attached the fuel tanks and stowage lockers. This is such a nice kit, I'm looking forward too the 100th MM release from Tamiya as it might be something special. The T-55 is number 98, and 99 was the T-34-85. Tommy, your our man in Japan. Any rumours about it being announced at the Trade only Shizuoka Show in May?     |

My word, the depth of detail you've achieved with that one wash is amazing! Tracks look darn fine as well.

Thank you Boots, Paul, Pete, Ian, Tommy, Steve &, Si. Muchly appreciated. Paul, I've got miles to go before I get anywhere near your models. 🙂 Steve, I've ordered a magnifying glass so I can see better.🤓 Tommy, I'm thinking the 100th could be something like a SdKfz 9 Famo, or maybe a Dragon Wagon. 😜 I'd be interested in other people's suggestions. The photos show before and after a black wash sprayed on the turret. I'll leave this to dry overnight, then I'll post another photo of the turret with the excess cleaned off.   |

Here's how it looks after the excess wash has been cleaned off.  |

Looks fantastic, Joe. Washes really accent the texturing on the turret.

Ian, Pete &, Paul. Thank you gentleman. I've started to add other bits and pieces to the hull. The commanders hatch opens, so I can pop him in at the end.
