That's certainly a superb looking model.

I like the cover around the mantlet - would love to know how you achieved that.
It looks like it has some form of stiffener around the outer edge ?

That is a fantastic build. Lovely details and cool, striking paint job! Really Excellent! I just watched that series "Greatest Tank Battles - Korea" last night! The E8's put up a good fight against T34's!
Best regards,
Bob

There are some photos of the process, but not many, I will share them in the future.
As for the next model, I think I have to solve next model parking lot problem first.
