Well it's finished and I have to say that I'm happy with the completed model. It just needs a coat of clear to even out some of the glue smudge marks. This model is well worth the effort of building, the tracks even met exactly when I joined them !. Where the tracks roll around the front drive sprocket I had to flatten the guide teeth since the sprocket doesn't actually mesh with anything and the track sort of sits flat against the roller. There are a few fat banana finger mistakes but I seem to be the only one who knows where they are so it's all good. You'll notice Julius Perdana's Fury Sherman started..so far a nice bit of kit to assemble, I'm looking forward to working on it.
