That is some awesome weathering on the big beast- its coming to life scratch by scratch! It is such a big kit with so many surfaces to weather but I think you have nailed it.
I also had a problem with the Meng resin stowage on my Mk.4M The base for the turret basket was warped so I heated it with a cup of just boiled water but it didn’t budge much for me. This technique usually works well so I was quite annoyed- ended up snapping it in half later on when I was seeing if it would flex at all- totally my fault of course but just be careful with it- the part looks strong but as usual, strong looking resin can snap with pressure in just the right place! I ended up using the plastic turret basket and the resin sides which needed a bit of surgery but worked well enough.

@Johnnych01 @Karl187 FYI I contacted Meng customer services about the warped Merkava resin.
I am glad to report they are sending a replacement FOC. Excellent service.

That is looking great Colin. You have finished that to an immaculate level. I really like the running gear as a whole, a great heavily used look with just no time for the crew to worry about maint or cleaning them off.
And although there is lot and extensive wear and tear/chipping etc, I think it gives the E100 a perfect look and it is just the right amount. Very nicely done

much better than mine but since it’s a speculative design, I don’t mind my jpz E100 problem (even the name is speculative, I see it as another variant of the stug E100 with a different architectural arrangement)
