Hi all!
I've just started my next AFV. At a glance the kit is very accurate and I build with minor upgrade: RB Model barrel gun, MasterClub metal tracks and some scratch build with copper wires.

I replaced some hooks, tool clamps, holders and the barrel cleaning rods.

Are the tracks in the kit incorrect or did you replace them to save some work?

Is the photoetch included in the kit?

I always prefer the metal tracks instead of any other ones. And the metal gun barrels too.
Yes, the most of photoetch are included in kit except the red circle marked parts. And the gun barrel cleaning rods, those are made from Albion Alloy aluminium tubes.
The lower hull is also finished and ready for painting.

Almost completed. It needs a final matte varnishing.
