This was supposed to be a quick build to get me back in the building mood, the M2 medium tank treads are killing my desire. I took a few days off before Memorial Day, and started the build 5/20. After looking at the kit, its from 1973, I had to add detail.
If its not dark gray, I added it. By the way I hate rubber tracks !! :-\
Now that I look at it in pictures, I am going to change the antenna to wire, the stretched sprue has the correct shape, but is to thick.

Very nice additions. :smiley:
Hearin' ya on the rubber tracks. >:(
-
Really nice tweaks. Under paint should look a treat
-
Great details!
The missing wheel on the left side is a nice touch!

I had to look at the images a few more times as I was thoroughly convinced that this was the very old Tamiya Tiger tank in 1:35th scale, not 1:72nd scale. It certainly does not look that small in the images so it was easy to miss. Great work!

1/72? :o
Dammit, Steve, I'd just recovered from the awesomeness you build in 1/35! :icon_crap:

Thank you for looking and all the kind words.

Obviously 1/35 weathering on a 1/72 model. ;)
Nice job, all the same, Steve! :smiley:

The build and finish would look great for a 1/35 tank... the scratch built details are fantastic. Are the tow cables stretched and twisted sprue?
-
Hasegawa's 1/72 armor are still great kits, but the improvements and finish are top notch! Good looking build!

Both ropes are thread, the track rope is a fine thread and the tow rope is a heavier thread with electric wire heat shrink.

No, you nailed it. Good job.
