Thanks, its been pretty simple so far.  I'm still trying to figure our if I should add the clear parts and just mask them before I paint the exterior or leave them out and stuff the interior.  I'm afraid trying to mask I will pop the windows out accidently. 

Not too worried about the pin marks, they shouldn't be visable once it's together.

Heavy: As for the ammobox rack colors, I've seen pictures of both green and black.  I'm not too worried about that.

She looks really good to me! I've got to build one of these myself one day. I see a bit of an injection pin mark in the doors but otherwise looks like a nice kit.

I helped my son build this kit. It turned out well. An easy and fun build. Look forward to your version.

It looks like you are off to a good start.  One point though, the ammo can racks and gunner's pedestal should all be the same green as the rest of the interior.  The only black pieces should be the rubber bumpers on the spare weapons mounts in the right side rear portion.

After three years of on and off again modelling  I'm actually getting back into the hobby on a regular basis, and after buying a new camera I thought it'd be fun to start posting progress shots again.  So enjoy. 

 

Started this a year ago up to the point of painting.  I was just in a building mood then.  Like most Tamiya, its been a easy build.  Currently painting the interior and ready to close up and continue with the exterior.  Using testor enamels, Nato green with a pale green dry brush.
