I just couldn't resist the twisting metal skirt and the mud and the exhaust rust. It's what a workhorse tank should look like. Ugly, dirty and bent than pristine. You can actually see some indentation on the turret skirt to portray bounced small caliber shell marks. Even some metal patches to fix previous large caliber shell penetrations(holes) on the turret skirt.
Tamiya are a model company and 1/35 was my favourite scale as well as 1/700 waterline series IJN ships and subs.
