So I decided to build this kit for obvious reasons.

I am starting as sub Assemblys basically so I can see what is shown how it is shown so on so I can decide my method of display for the tank so as much can be displayed as possible.

It is a good method in my opinion to do this kit also because it makes painting much easier and allows test fitting. It also allows you to see all the spots you will need to fill and sand and trust me depending on how displayed it is alot.

I'm my opinion not a beginner kit at all lol... I think the instructions could be alot better as well. It lacks clarity in some places so.. yeah test fit important along with some critical thinking.

Some work done today... Some is mocked up some is glued in place. The road arms with the axels going through were interesting to build. There whole thing is moveable and flexible but it makes putting it together challenging to say the least.

The slat armor on the turret is quite interesting as well, alot of holes to drill. Really the whole model has alot to drill depending on how you want laid out, version, so on. There is also alot of sand and fill depending on it too
