First time building a tank, not really a fan of armor, but maybe this will start a new addiction....

You make a REVELL kit look like a TAMIYA.

A rare quality.

With the amount of flash on this kit, it's taken a stone to my trim skills.....

Well I would have picked a Tamiya for your first armor kit but great subject. Don’t know what you normally build but if you like weathering then you should love armor! Good luck and keep us posted!

Primarily I like WWII U.S. aircraft, I have a deal with a buddy of mine in Japan who is an armor nut, if he builds a four engine bomber, I'll build a piece of armor. The deal is underway.....

Doesn't look like much, but it has been a tremendous amount of trimming and sanding.

I think that's supposed to be the fun part !!!! Also putting separate track links together is another fun Armor thing !!!!

A tremendous amount of "fixing" that we don't see means...

Ya' doin' good.
