Nice job on the barrel, Tommy! Those thermal sleeves on IDF tanks are complex and tricky to sand.

Superb barrelism, not the easiest of sanding jobs with all the bits and bobs all over it.

Thanks guys. Having good quality sanders helps and a scribing tool to get the angles neat, helps. Looking again it is not perfect. Will give it a primer and then decide. It’s 1/35 by the way Robbo. Rear cage was not easy and one part in the instructions 29g is not the part needed. 29g goes on the gun mantlet. Not found the bu@@er yet.  |

Thanks guys. More blunders, put the reactive armour on from front to back and needed to go from back to front so they would fit. Got it in the end.  |

Well done, Tommy. It’s easy to get it the wrong way round. But it certainly looks good now.

Well done, Tommy. It’s easy to get it the wrong way round. But it certainly looks good now. Thanks guys. Not the wrong way round, this time for me, though. The tracks are awful.  No luck with any aftermarket in Japan. |

Have a look for Takom tracks, they are about to be released here so they may be available down in your neck of the woods now or shortly  |

That's a bummer, Tommy. Hopefully you can sort them out.

Thanks Paul though I will not be spending any more brass on this one. Here is the monster so far.  |
