Looking good!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

It's been printing over night so not been watching honest!  It's a lack of support or faield support - trying a new resin and it's being problematic (but it does give amazingly sharp results)

No release date yet, I've not even finished drawing the hull yet...

Mark,
Is there any chance of doing spare track links - nearly every photo of M48s in combat I've seen had several track runs hanging from their turrets?
Looking great so far - will definitely be getting one (or two!) to go with my Empress Marines.

There is a whole pile of tat that would be useful (matching scale Jerry cans,  ammo boxes etc).

Track links would be good. Most other impedimentia can be readily found in either 1/56 or 1/48 versions. I think I have enough Tamiya jerry cans to last me a lifetime. The one thing that might be worth doing as extra kit are the Mermite hot and cold food canisters. These are frequently seen in photos of tanks, strapped to the turret basket, sometimes in the canister or  just the individual containers alone.

Is that the left one or the right one (my vote is on left).

@Carlos - I just got a Tamiya 1/48 scale Jerry cans set, I see what you mean.
