Bling has been arriving all week, its been like christmas!

First up, brass machine gun barrels for turret and hull. And proper wooden barrel cleaning rods with threaded connectors:


Steel towing cables, and textured air cleaner pipes:


External fire extinguisher, and machined multi part brass muzzle.


Which has some stunning detail:



The HUGE ABER detail set to end all detail sets:


To put the set in detail, the sprue in the upper right, is about 12cm wide!


Cast wing nuts, cast spare tracks, and machined brass turret and hull smoke/grenade launchers. There are also some towing shackles, but im not happy with them, will make some new ones.


Some heavy a$$ cast steel, individually linked, hollow guide horn, tracks. These weigh about 1kg per side of the tank!


Aluminium barrel (i've already started fitting the muzzle fittings).



Some of the details on these parts are awesome:
