This is the third time I've tried to build this kit. The first two times ended up FUBAR, although I can't remember exactly what went wrong.

The only part of the assembly that gave me any trouble was the spare tracks on the rear. That may have been the issue that FUBARed one of my previous attempts. The paint was a mixture of Tamiya XF-62 Olive Drab, XF-60 Dark Yellow and XF-57 Buff.

I chose the kit option with the fewest decals - there are only five, two on each side and a small one on the ammo box attached to the machine gun on the turret. I weathered it with a wash, which was much heavier on the top than I had intended. I decided not to add any accessories.
