Looks pretty good so far Will, I have this kit in the stash and will probably be breaking it out this fall.

a side note though, it might just be the pics but it looks like you've painted the roadwheels black, I'm pretty sure they're steel so they'd be polished silver/gunmetal instead. HTH.

I painted them flat black but I'll go back and make them gunmetal thats no big deal

On the other hand be prepared for a lot of clean up

yea, all the clean-up on the suspension components looks pretty daunting.

I had to put all 8 of these tiny things on there

most difficult thing was getting the gas tank to fit when the little piece in the middle kept the tank raised so i had to sand and sand and shave it with a xacto blade

Need to do a little wireing for the head lights

Turret done but not glued down

Got it done except the tracks and My Grandma threw them away :'( :'( Nothing I can do except put it on the display area and leave it Oh well ::) Its to much of an effort to find another set or am parts.
I'm making my work area of limits to everyone not building models. This was my 3rd armor build, 2nd with decals and wouldn't recommend it to anyone interested in cleaning for about 5 days and a lot of painting

Honestly, why would anyone just throw away model parts? Were the tracks still on the sprues?
