Thanks all, and thanks for sharing it Hugh! We're extremely pleased with the results, and can't wait to see the rest of it! The long journey is almost over :)

I see from your FB page that the hull is also almost ready for production, Alex! It looks just as good as the turret!

Are those lift rings on the table in front of the model?

Those rings mount to the sides of the "nose" and below it.

I always just call them "little pieces that get lost in the rug when you pick them up with tweezers". IIRC, I've never actually managed to stick something that small onto a model. On one occasion, I DID super glue a few of them to my face somehow.....

Will one be able to put a TC in the turret hatch and a an air sentry in one of the back hatches?

Both turret and rear hatches have a cavity for crew and air sentries. There may be crew and air sentries coming  ;)

That's a really lovely looking kit. Looks like a superb casting. Good luck with the sales.

Thanks Carlos! Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive now that we have the final-ish master!

That is indeed a lovely looking model, top work there. I'm pretty concerned that at that price you're not going to sell many though. I hope you prove me wrong, good luck!

It was a successfully crowdfunded project, but thanks for your concern!

Nice looking model and great work on the slat armour for the turret bustle. Hopefully you’ll do a 2A6M Leopard next.
