Ooo. I like it. Think I'll do a bit of assembly on mine tonight.

Thank you dmminiatures and Mikey,
as far as much more weathering just some dust. There's not much more I'm putting doing, maybe some chipping but the IDF takes care of their gear so that I'm not sure you would see much of that.
Mikey, It's a nice kit but I do not like the tracks. There's zero detail on the inside if the tracks. I had to mask that by adding dust to cover the total lack of detail.
I'm finished with it and will have so pics up tomorrow.

I have also noticed the lack of inside detail on the tracks. Also I used a razor saw to deepen the depressions around the turret armor that encased the gun tube. Where the the two halves of the turret meet there is a little sloppy so I've got to clean that up.

Aside from dry fitting the tracks and hull, that's as far as I got last night.

Here's the completed build. It makes a nice little kit even with the flaws that were highlighted.

I can't get over the low parts count on this thing. Very sharp finish up on this beauty!!!!

Thanks Mikey and Mustang

The injection molding made big steps in the past few years and I think that the 72nd scale benefits the most from it.

Fantastic finish, I really like it!
