Well heres the start of my build diary. I'll get some more photos of it tommorrow.

Photo of the contents of the kit - there is some decals, just forgot to get them out of the box.

Progress so far. Done some experimental painting on a part of the tank, that won't be seen once complete. The bit of paint on top, is the result of me blowing through the hole where the turret goes, to keep it clear of paint.

Latest bit of work on the tank. Turret is not and never will be glued to the body. Also the main gun elevates.

Latest bit of work on the tank. Added the underside and rear of the hull, then painted with primer.

Added some more parts to the tank. Getting there with it.

The tank with it's first coat of Citadel Zamesi Desert yellow. Not all of the tank has been painted yellow. I had to hold on to it somewhere.

Just need to add the wheels and tracks, then finish off the paint job. Not much to do. Added the front wheels to the tank, then did battle with two of the return rollers, (these are what the tracks run along to get back to where they started) with even super glue not holding. Think I might have managed to get them to hold together with the normal plastic glue I was using. We will see tommorrow.

I have the road wheels ready to glue onto the chassis. I just need to finish doing the return rollers, then glue the lot on somehow and finish the paint job.

All parts attached, (except tracks) and it has had a run through the paint shop for primer. Now to wait for it to dry, then it will have a final run through the paint shop. Finally the tracks will be attached and the turret will be mated with the body for the final time.

Finished!
