Thanks guys.
Stuart, for antennas here I’m using some brass AM ones from Orange Hobby, they come in sets of 4 and are properly tapered and include the spring coil base.
Tom, this time I used Vallejo airbrush thinner. It’s not ideal, but worked ok compared to the Testors Universal Acrylic Thinner.

Re: Academy 1/35 M981
More progress on this over the past weekend... I was able to get the basic colors onto the stowage, aside from the tow cable, spare track shoes, and the tie down straps...
hopefully I should have more finished by the end of next weekend...

She's starting to look like a well traveled tank with stowage.

Gary & Tom, thank you!
Now I just need to finish up the detail painting… the gloss coat, decals, flat coat & final weathering.

Re: Academy 1/35 M981
My only progress worth posting on this one is some crew figures for this using bits of Tamiya, Verlinden, and one from the kit.
and a test fit of them into their respective hatches
Not too much more to do on this one...
