Small progress.
I added some stowage, very lightly since I want the vechicle to appear relative new, dusty - not dirty, and not overloaed.
The turret stowage holder was replaced with the Blackdog piece, however it doesn't quit fit tight, there is a small gap to be addressed and also more clean up is needed it seems
I also take the opportuniy to show my high tech spray booth, which is a cut down cardboard box
. My airbrush is broken and I don't have money to get a new one, so for this one, only rattle cans and ol' fashion brushes will be used.

I paid 15 euros for my current airbrush - basic model dual action bottom feed, high quality assembly and completely suitable for reasonably fine work. Just a suggestion

Here it is: http://shop.wiltec.info/product_info.ph ... mrfdb4msu2
They have a few different models to choose from. I've used the Type 128 for a while now, but in the future I might choose one with top feed instead. One inportant thing to know is that even though these no-name products may look the same, there are vast differences in quality. Those from this shop are among the best I've encountered so far.

I am planning to use the supplied rubber band tracks for this build. I did some work and they don't look half bad 
. Let's see how they will turn out once on the vechicle.
I also started on some of the detail painting, slowly getting somewhere

Quick questions: Does anybody know, if the return rollers where rubber rimmed - or all steel?
It is not quit obvious when watching photos of the real thing.

The Pershing had rubber rimmed return rollers - yay for alliterations
Nice work on the small stuff
