I built this more or less out of the box without correcting the turret rear or engine deck that I've been told is wrong. I didn't use the "rubber band tracks" instead I used tracks from the Revell Leopard 2. The top length isn't visible with the side skirts mounted on modern tanks so I usually leave them off so I have some spare tracks. Now they came to use.



The color might be a bit odd. I started with Tamiya flat yellow.
After that a very thin coat of Tamiya XF60.
Then I used a rather diluted Humbrol 71 that was almost transparent. I used a brush for this. This gave a striped look so I did this one more time but this time with Humbrol 81.
