Finally I made tracks. Originally, This kit contains workable track. But It was too much time consuming work, so I decided to omit the workable track pin.

By the way, I think this AK11159 russian green color is too dark. Aren’t you think, guys?

I made inside of turret.

1. AKS-47 (for loader)

2. Wrench. This wrench has two purposes.
   When a tank gun fired, It can sometimes happen that an empty casing shell gets stuck in the chamber. then, loader took this wrench, open the chamber, and pull out the empty casing by manually. Second, disassembling the gun breech for maintenance or repair.
   next to the some small tool kit box.

3. Loaders foldable chair

4. Ventilator for Coax Machine gun.

5. It is a part of STP-2 циклон(Cyclone) two-bore axis gun stabiliser.

6. Pistol holster and R-113 Radio.

7. BP-2A power supply unit for R series Radio.

1. Tank gun azimuth indicator. Above, a traversing handle located.
2. Turret traversing motor
   next to it, A black square is cushion for gunner.
   It is used when the gunner leans his shoulder to the side to stretch in cramped gunner’s seat.
