Thanks for all the info, Ian.
This one is going to be so surreal, as the name suggests, I do not think it will matter.

Here is an update on the tank. ![](https://i.ibb.co/j5vX4bd/IMG-5677.jpg) Tracks, wheels and PE done. There were only three sprue so not much to it. Also skanked up the rear oil drums ![](https://i.ibb.co/Gss7fsx/IMG-5678.jpg)

Nice progress! Those drones love those nice juicy aluminum/ magnesium fuel tanks. I think on the BMP the fuel cells are right by the exit hatches.

Thanks guys. Latest, painted with olive drab JGSDF. Will use lots of oils to change the tones so it doesn’t matter about the base. ![](https://i.ibb.co/7Q1RdvZ/IMG-5711.jpg) Redzebra stowage ![](https://i.ibb.co/yVph0Rm/IMG-5710.jpg)

Awesome, Tommy! In true T-72 fashion you could display the turret 50 feet away from the hull.😂😂😂😂

Thanks guys. Suddenly remembered Lifecolor Tensocrom filter set that has had very little usage. Finally got to exploit it and what a difference it has made. The now subtle variations in olive drab have gone a long way to making this a heavy metal monster. ![](https://i.ibb.co/C6hRfM4/IMG-5713.jpg) Some oils on the hull and wheels ![](https://i.ibb.co/HBgqHkD/IMG-5714.jpg)

Thanks Ian and armorguy. After investing time and money into these tracks, I am damned if they are not going to have any sag in them. ![](https://i.ibb.co/2nzbDv5/IMG-5719.jpg)

I had to google Nora Batty, but after seeing the photos Mr.B might be right ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Nice build you got going on Tommy.
