Another one of those models that you spot at a model show and think “Damn, that’s so cool, Imma buy one real quick” and only then start thinking what can you do with it.

Interestingly, I started building the model the same day once I got back home from the show. I modified it so it could represent the early prototype which didn’t have remote machine guns on the sides of the turret.

I also thought “What would Adam Wilder do?” and after figuring out that question, I reworked the sheet metal side bins from metal so I could rip some of them off and add realistic dents to others.

The tank has a lot of interesting shapes and a huge frying pan for a turret, so a geometric camouflage fits it pretty well. I finished it as a what-if vehicle that saw intense combat.
