The tracks and wheels look great! Looking forward to all of them together! I have realized that I need to work on the tracks early (throughout the build) so I don't get bogged down towards the end of the build. Awesome work!

Hi, thanks for your kindly posts.
Now, all the wheels together with tracks are ready. We must wait for completion of body and install them. I think I spent two weeks for making wheels.

Hi. After wheels and tracks, it is time to make some easier parts of the tank. We continue with the hull. First we must make the internal skeleton. Difficult part of this stage is preparing 1 and 2mm thick cardboard and paste and cut parts on it, by the way, I do it. You may see the result.

Oh, don't think I cut all those small holes by cutter, I already said I prepared 2 handmade punch tools and make the holes by them. The process take only about half an hour.

You're doing a far finer job than I could, Naser80.

This model is showing high your standards of skill, even at this relatively early stage.

I admire your work.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

A lot of work, but it looks very nice!

Hi, today, I show you more photo of making the body. The front parts of the hull (parts No. 29**** and 33****) must be glued on 4mm thick card. They also have very sophisticated profile that shown next to the parts in the kit. Cutting parts 29 and 33 with 4mm of thickness by cutter blade and making their profile was a real chalenge for me. You can see the result.
