If course it does, it's almost 'finished'..............  ;)  ;D

Yeah, I know, Hat, Coat, book too?  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Looks great! The 38t is a great base for whiffing - both in models and real world!

I'll give Tamiya credit..they know how to make life rather easy when it comes to tracks.
I noticed that front idler wheel to ..only after I enlarged your pics and by then I'd posted..oh well  ;D
Still looking sweet mate 👍
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Looking most excellent, it really does work that combo

Recent experience with a 1/48 AFV, by not doing that I ended up with one track run reversed as the road wheels did not fit right. Almost invisible, but if you look closely.....  :banghead:

Don't beat yourself up Buzzy..ive seen that in pics of real tanks...saw a pic of a Sherman with the rubber chevron tracks and one set was on backwards..this tank was in Italy in 44.

I've seen similar of a link or two reversed from the way all the others point in the run... real life vs. the ideal, 'text book'.

If your doing anything under extreme pressure..like combat ..as long as it's on and working..who cares .

Yup - it only has to run well enough to get you out of trouble - 'pretty'  or 'correct' is for the parade ground.

There's been more than one occasion where we would have quite happy to have been somewhere else and we wouldn't have cared how we go there  ;D

I'll remember this next time I put a set on backwards.  Precedence...

Put the other side on today.  Thought i'd lost one of the short links.  Was slightly panicking until I remembered i'd glued it to the end of the top run yesterday as this makes it easier when fitting them.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

It's got the stance of a dog straining at the leash in that picture, all ready to pounce until you drop their lead and they go "on second thoughts I won't go for that cat"  ;D

You're tempting me to have a look at some Tamiya armour next time I'm at a show.

No Book, as I'd had exactly the same thought when I typed my reply.  ;D
