4 month ago I opened a box, which I awaited sooo loooooooong. At that point I had no idea how challenging this build will be. Interior, exterior, loads of details and PE made it iteresting. Imperfections and researches made it sometimes a bit too challenging. But due to all the difficulties we've gone through together, this particular object on my desk will be one of my favorite builds for sure, with all of it's inaccuracies (hollowed guide horns, camo for example) and imperfectness (dirt on the tracks or on the lower hull, rust on the tracklinks on the front, flesh color, "quick and dirty" ground, etc). One day maybe I'll improve these weaknesses. What am I going to build next, I don't know. Probably not a tank... :P

So, ready? Then here you are a low angle 360:

Closer? Ok, why not? :th:

Still with me? Then let's switch to a higher angle: :dance:

Image
Image
Image
Image

Ok ok, here you have some close-ups: :crazy:

Oh, I almost forgot: it has an interior, too! :doh:

Some interesting views: :scratch::

And finally all features, all pain and joy on one picture: :lol:

Thank you for your kind attention, and Happy New Year!!! :dance:

Cheers,
Attila

Really great that you built it in such a way as to be able to show off the interior when finished too. :clap: :clap: :clap:

It's fantastic!!! :banana: :jd:

The build and paintjob is second to none but what really catches my attention is all the small details like battledamage to the turret, the buildup of dirt and oil under the missing side-skirt, rust-streaks and chipping. All that stuff that takes a lot of time and planning to do :clap: :clap: :clap:

...and the interior that's an extra bonus :bow:: :dance:

Also; great photos :thumb2:

:cheers2:
