That's great to hear.

It pays to think ahead, right? Something I don't always do...

I recommend filling the cap head screws BEFORE doing Zimmerit. Otherwise the tile adhesive will leave a divet after it dries.

I sanded the zimmerit very quickly with 150 grit to even it out.

Nice to see some progress on your model Brian. Mine is a bit stalled. I like that colour scheme. I intend to use those three colours also. As it is I already have that greenish basecoat.

I like that pattern too.

For mine, I assumed the tank was transported from the factory in a base red oxide primer. The crew might have been sent some green along with it, and left to camouflage it themselves in the summer of 1944.

Yes, it's looking really great.

It took me a few minutes to figure out how to install and remove the overlapping road wheels.

Very fun build.
