I’m going to say this is done now, or as far as I’m going to take it.
It’s not a bad kit to be fair to it, just dated. With a bit more reworking by Tamiya they could make it into a really good kit. Some of the Eduard PE set helps it but I still had a lot left over.
I just ended up giving a going over with the AK dirt and dust wash and left it at that.
It really needs to have the correct looking track running gear, with the open sprockets etc, and probably better tracks as well.
It could also do with resin from wheels as each rubber tyre has a big central seam running round it.
It was a fun easy little build after having it for so many years. Thanks for all the suggestions, help, guidance and of course support…
