I love to watch you work these old (but still very good) Tamiya kits into masterpieces.

Weathering on the T-34 is pretty much done—just a few bits left (like the headlight...), and in the meantime I’m working on the figure and the base.

Prbably an engineer from the factory doing a review of what needs fixing.  There is an excellent review by the Porsche engineer at the front line on the Elephant's shortcomings.
