Very nice, cant beat a Jug. Even in 1/72 it looks like 1/48!

I reconstructed (with a bit of fear...) the undecarriages in order to have them in a more correct position...
What do you think?

P.s.
Looking at the photos, I probably need to position the pneumatics better so that they stick to the ground... hoping not to break anything...

Beautiful work. What a beast the jug was. Holding the line against the enemy in 1943 when the heavies needed them the most.
