Greetings. F n g here. This is my first attempt at a tank. I've glanced at them as a kid and as an adult but I've always went to the airplane selection. And usually Revell. I'm not the person to judge this kit but so far it seems like a nice kit. Instructions are very vague. Words are almost non-existent. Absolutely no instructions on how to paint it or the steps or anything. Unlike Tamiya. So I sprayed the wheels with red oxide and I'll spray the underside and maybe the skirts with the red oxide the rest I'll hit with flat black and then the German yellow. I think I'm going to go with xf60 and tone it down with some buff. And then have some fun with camouflage. All in all this is a fun kit I think. It's all new to me so I'm having a blast.

Thank you. What gets me is all these tiny tiny parts. Now I understand aircrafts have tiny tiny Parts too but I know where they all go AND their names. These shaky hands destroyed both of the exhaust at the top. Those long bolts that hold the top cap on? I had to drill that muffler out and cut little wires to make new ones. But that's half of modeling. This is why we like it
 
Okay. You all know this is my first tank. Right now I'm on the tracks. Need I say more? Oh my God what a pain in the ass. If I build any more tanks it's going to be a Tamia. At least their Instructions make sense. I found so many mistakes in these instructions.

Wait until you have to build each link (3 parts) and then join them together...... hours of fun. Pantherman
