Thats a cracking lking bild there, was not even aware of this kit until now. And while i am not a fan on rust on armour, the effect is well done.

Came out donkey's years agao, on the heels of Tamiya's 1/25 full interior Tiger.
A graw old kit, the bits are in place, and to Tamiya details levels.  Not all of the wires and plumbing are there, so it's a gorgeous pallette for super detailing, were a person inclined.  Or leave it as it is for the limited view through the hatches.
 
I agree on the rust--it's beautifuly done, but all I cab hear in my head is the rumbling approaching thunderstorm of a Sar'nt about to give Tommy Adkins a bucket of work to do, chop! chop!

Absolutely superb - a beautiful job!  That finish really looks like painted steel, something that's hard to accomplish properly, and the rust effects are excellent - well done!

           Happy modelling,

                   Hutch.

Cool! That's one kit I've never built- does it come with an engine or is that scratchbuilt? In any case that's some nice work.

I like how that came out....

And I'm sitting here looking at that very same model I built back about 1975.

Beautiful build! My all time favorite tank after I saw the Beatles Help! Movie when it came out way back when.
