I found the image on the Tanks Encyclopedia page- and holding the mouse over the image this caption pops up- "Turretless chassis in repair, Bosnia"...but it doesn't say what variant it is....you might definitely be right....I'll look through the two books I have up through the B2...but the rear end of this one certainly seems to match what I see on the model....but there's not much to go by is there? :headbang:

I know the site you're talking about. A fun one indeed...

Finished the initial painting of the NATO scheme...going to fade it a bit and then add some select few decals...and then take my time on weathering ;)

Thanks everyone- used a mix of putty and tape for masking...seemed to go alright I guess ;)

Thank you!

Nearing the middle phase of weathering...so far did some oil streaking and some powders...

Having some track issues- meaning mainly that the indies keep coming apart in various places...not a fan so much...but I figure I should probably finish everything else first and only fix things once...
