To understand the scale, put a bottle of beer, a pack of cigarettes or another global product next to the box, please.
The Wheels are finished and installed.
And for size comparison here are a couple of Pics. of a 1/35th T72 on the lower hull.
I hope this helps.

I’m working on the Track now , it’s very slow going and I thought I would give you an update.
All the Track links are molded too thick in their mating surfaces and will need trimming or sanding to make them movable.
I am using some of my Wifes disposable Fingernail sanding sticks.
They work really good and are cheap.
Here’s the pics. that show what I mean.

You’r going to have fun with the Track.
A lot of clean up but mostly fitting the links together.
Hang in there for when the track is finished it’s well worth it.

Just finished those earlier. As you said, plenty of clean up as well as “surgical” adjustments to make the links flexible.
But indeed worth the time and effort once they’re fitted

A little upper hull work finished.
This is a bit tricky , The mounts for the skirt reactive armor need fitting and some notches to get then to fit over the hinges.

Simply amazing. Are you retired? That’s the only way you can be knocking out this amount of plastic in such short time.

First of all, thank you for your service and glad you made it. My father also served in Vietnam for 18 months. He was a radio operator and was all over that part of the country because he was good at intercepting and interpreting signals. Even worked for UN for a while while in Cambodia and Laos.
Well, I wish you the best and keep on trucking through your model stash!
