Update:
I added a little tarp for the stowage and sacks. I made antennae out of stretched sprue. Decals are on, last step is to flat coat then do a last wash and all done!

Looking really good Declan! Nice work. I don't have the patience for road wheels and tracks.
Thanks,
John

I didn't think I did either! But the tamiya kit made it actually quite tolerable. I would suggest giving it a shot sometime if you haven't already.
Thanks for the comment!

So....when are you gonna sling some mud on this girl? Gotta dirty her up some. Looks too clean for a weathered tank.

This is looking really good
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
