Great to have you all along gents  Some progress with the upper hull. Made up of several different pieces in true Miniart fashion. Some excellent detail on the engine louvers and hatches, which are a bit of a fiddle but worth it…..well maybe not as the PE screens cover most of it up  ….   |

I’m up to step 25 out of 60 odd, so a fair bit to go yet, certainly getting my money’s worth out of this build |

That looks great, Si. What markings are you planning on for the current build? Cheers Ian . Think this is the scheme I’m going for this…..  |

I think most kits seem to be going this way nowdays....i did a Takom and that had similar traits to Mini-Art....i know i`m not a huge fan of MiniArt but they do do a cracking range of subjects |

Went at the wheels this afternoon They have/had a tread pattern on them but I soon sorted that out with a quick spin in the drill. Very unusual for Miniart, some of them had flash on them in awkward place….  |

Nice looking tank but I'm still having counselling from my last encounter with Miniart

Thanks for checking in chaps A wee bit more done, finished off assembly of the wheels and started on the skirts. Plenty of fuel tanks later….  Now comes the bit that could go pear shaped quickly…..removing the fuel lines from the sprue  
If it doesn’t go so well, I got plenty of copper wire |
