Initial build started. Long way to go. Need to break out the soldering iron for 7 racks around the tank. The dark blob in the one pic is my scratchbuilt searchlight. Anybody have any spare Aber buckles they don't need? Used up all but last 2 I had on Degem Alef.

Sorry for short reply...wife was yelling at me. Tamiya kit and i'm using the brass from the dragon kit. Have some parts from the legends set to use-the canvas turret side panels, rear stowage and some other odds and ends. So far the hardest thing has been the antenna mounts.

Now to the weathering. Last pic is the completed Degem Alef next to it and the difference in weathering. Painted from the same bottle
