That looks darn good to me!

Indeed, that's excellent, especially the running gear, which is always a "make or break" aspect for AFVs, IMHO.

The air louvres on top of the engine area are great, too. Did you "layer" them from strip or did you use some prefabricated plastic for those?

Thanks for the comments chaps, the louvres were made using strips of plasticard. The model will be a resin body with metal fittings with, hopefully, some additional stowage items and crew as well.

The tracks are now done, took me all last evening, I'll try to get some more shots with the side skirts and post them once finished and ready for the mold.

That's very impressive progress in just a few days. The final product is just amazing.

Very impressive workmanship, Mr. Mipps!

Here's hoping it casts up well!

I hope so too, I'm sure you will be amongst the first to see it in the flesh, so to speak.
