Exactly Philipp very Sci-Fi look.

Here it is with the gun fitted and locked in the travel lock (neither the gun nor the lock are glued yet).

The fit was pretty straightforward. I only encounter issues with the hull top. However I guess this could be me not properly aligning the lower parts. No issue at all with the turret.

I have started the painting yesteray with the base color and applied the two camo colors this afternoon. It was quite time-consuming. Not perfect but I'm happy with the result so far considering that Takom was not able to give instructions where the color limits match from one view to another. I still need to fix some overpsray here and there and I can tackle the details painting.

The beast got a filter of brown today which unexpectedly gives a dusty look.

It’s quite the monster Olivier, the brown filter ties the camo together nicely.

Thank you Adam.
Here it is with the wheels finally fitted. Still need to glue the last details and add some reddish dust and it will be finished.

With a bit of dust it is looking more operational. The dust has been made by mixing some Ammo Vietnam Earth pigments with Tamiya acrylic thinner which was brushed over the tires and sprayed over the lower hull.

The dust effect could be accentuated. I still need tot glue the travel lock clamp and the rear view mirrors.
