I use pastels exclusively myself.

Looks like a real "PRO" build coming along here.

Yeah, great job there Terry, I really love the tracks! I used to try to paint them like that but they never really looked right to me so I've been just slathering the whole undercarriage with mud...Confused

I added a couple more parts this AM.  One with a lead foil strap which I will paint later.

Ok we are loaded up and about ready to roll.  There are a few little things left to do on the tank, but I'm ready to get the crew figure going.  Here are some new pictures.

Beautiful looking build. It is an impressive looking tank. The sprocket look out of place on the grunt rail though; it's not an item replaced by the crew. Replacing a sprocket is often a major emotional event with sheared bolts needing to be tapped out with high impact power tools.

Any word on whether Dragon plans to release the A2 version?

Began working on the figure.  Airbrushed the flesh areas with a dark flesh tone and then airbrushed lighter tones.  Next I applied oil wash of brown.  Then finished up with oil paint highlights.  Still learning how to paint in this scale.
