Thank you Jeff and Ian!

Ian, it'll be, as you can see bellow, from the former DDR, a simple, plain green machine with a colorful badge and white numbers painted in the worst place possible

Ok, the beast received a hand of gloss clear and the decals.

Oh, I built the tracks too. Good to build, engineered to move but I glued everything together...

The water lines in the cannons was a nightmare. If you have one of this Meng's Shilka, DO NOT use the supplied vinyl hoses, they are to thick and terrible to work. I used some fine electric wire.

Hope you like...
