I’d already decided to use some Tasca late bogies, but discovered there’s quite a bit of adjustment required to get them to fit, especially the idler and drive wheels.
But also the detail is a bit basic in places, especially on the glacis, where I’ve ended up adding surface texture and weld beads, and detailing the gun travel lock.
If you’re referring to the round vs. Oval shape, the bow MG is a circular plug in the glacis and is clumsily welded in. The oval shape is for fixing the MG cover and is a spot welded wire. I think that’s a separate part in many kits.
Yes, I’m aware. The texture is very light and even on the rolled steel, it’s not perfectly smooth as the kit is. Trying not to overdo it on the rolled parts.
Looking at the box art I see they are attempting to portray Creighton Abrams tank. Think that is OK as is, but information I have says it was Thunderbolt VI that was at Bastogne, not Thunderbolt IV. If you want to do Abram’s M4 that was in use in that particular period you might want to do a reference deep dive, and least one a bit deeper than mine.
