Chris added Karaya tow cables and spare decals to his Takom 1/35 scale T29E3 experimental U.S. heavy tank model. His fascination with the stature of U.S. heavy tanks developed during and after World War II inspired the build. The T29E3 is equipped with a coincidence rangefinder giving it a distinctive appearance with the large "ears" protruding from the turret. Chris painted the model with Tamiya acrylics and lightly weathered it with AK Interactive products to create a new tank that just arrived on the testing range.
