Nearly finished this task build and it's not bad, not brilliant but not awful either.The fit of parts is not the best here but its managable for a medium skilled model maker to handle. The turret top and bottom needs some dry fitting and I used a few clamps to hold it in place whilst they dried. The cover over the mantlet is movable via a small hinge that is extremely fragile so I set the angle of the gun I was happy with and glued the flap down to secure it. The rearward handrails on the turret are well done but the fixing indentations on the turret have a slightly larger spacing that the rails, everything else is fine fit wise.The upper hull presents no problems until the sides need adding,the fit here is not so good as the side panel is slightly shorter that the appeture. The skirt that fits into the bottom of the side panel fits better. The suspension arms have a lot of play in them where the locking peg meets the hole in the arm thus allowing you, if not being careful, to find out later that the arms are not level with each other, so be careful to get all the arms level so in turn the road wheels will sit level on the tracks.Road wheels have some small flash on them that needs removing so do that first as some joins are impeded. Small poly caps fit inside the wheels and create a push fit onto the end of the suspension arms the enabling them to rotate.The hull upper and lower fit together well enough, I glued up the front of the hull first so as to get the parts level, then glued the rear afterwards, a little pressure is needed to slightly push the lower hull into position so clamp or tape this join whilst drying.The rubber band tracks are nice enough, I painted and weathered them before joining then together and let them to set. By removing the front road wheel it is possible to fit the tracks onto the sprocket wheel first, then road wheels and guide wheels. Place the groove in the front wheels onto the centre pins of the track then push the wheel onto its localing pin. This saves having to join the track whilst fitting it to the wheels which can be a right pain.Tend result is quite nice with some weathering and detail.
