Thanks you guys, I really appreciate it. This is my first On Display on the main Armorama site and I'm glad you like it.


@ Geraint, In real life the extra tracks were welded to the hull.

@ Bobby, The greatest challenge was to put the Modelkasten tracks under the tank. Those tracks are made of 9 part per tracklink. But overall I thing 5-6 months work is in this piece.

You're towing cable looks fantastic. Nice, natural drape to it. How did you accomplish this? What did you use for the cable?

Nice work Marin. The broken track gives the model a great, in service feel, as does all the stowage. Excellent paint too. Monochromatic schemes are so hard to make interesting, your is very well done in deed.
