VERY NICE review and model indeed.

Just two things :

- I think despite all the efforts Doug made, the model is let down a bit by its tracks but there wasn't much Doug could do about it apart from his mods(for me tracks are sometimes an underated feature in tank models,
they will make or break a model), maybe someone will come up with aftermarket resin tracks or a kitbash with PSP tracks (and roadwheels) is in order?

- I'm wondering about turret texture, especially in smallscale, I'm currently building Revell's new T-34/85 with a turret as smooth as a baby's bottom and I had to add some texture but it's very difficult not to
overdo it, I'll see how my efforts really looks when it's painted...

Still an awesome end result :-)

Cheers,
Christophe
