A fun build! For once, I had a pleasant experience! Trumpeter did an outstanding job on this kit!

Comes with a simple interior !

Most welcome guys !

those pictures were taken before I filmed the last segment on YouTube and it wasn't totally finished !

but you get the gist of things !

I will most definitely buy the Improved version with all the ERA blocks so to have another but somewhat different !

Remember that Trumpeter wants you (in the instructions) to glue all the Hatches down!!! Beats me why they would do that when the Vehicle comes with a decent interior ! not Full blown but decent enough to keep those Hatches open !

Makes the vehicle come alive I think?

Later guys !

Though I know very little about modern armour, my eyes are telling me that they see something awesome!

Great build yet again! Nice to see you opened all the hatches and exposed all of that interior. My only question is why is the un-ditching log painted in the same camp scheme as the rest of the tank?

The UAE reference pictures I had we're done that way!

When those babies are brand new? Or during parades personel
Sometime use artistic license!

UAE have not used their vehicles in Agression as of yet!
So all the gear is in Mint condition!

If I do a Russian one? It will be weathered!

Take care my friend!

Amazing work Norm!

The paint job is really perfect :bow::!
The brown camo looks brilliant - what color did you applied?

Thanks for sharing...
