Will wait and see if it comes on TV here.

On another note I been painting the rubber on wheels today, Using Tamiya XF-69 Nato Black which is a better colour then flat black and looks like rubber, Also picked up some Tamiya XF-62 Olive Drab for the Tank.

Just asking, any reason you didnt use XF-85 rubber black ??

[B61 MACK]

Because I did not know there was a Tamiya rubber black The Nato black to me looks like a very dark grey and look's like its been out in the weather.
Going on U-tube tonight to see if I can learn how to tone the Olive green in places on the body to give it a weathered look, Did see it done on a British Tank for got to save it

Found what I was looking for on U-tube.

Jiminee I have been watching a lot of Andy's Hobby Headquarters on U-tube and Plasmo he builds a lot of 1/72 scale Tank's.

I'm amazed at how well engineered the kit is and how different the experience is to building a car kit.
