As I mentioned in my initial posting, the "Zombie Tank" variant is not addressed in the instruc- tions, and very superficially touched-upon in the painting guide. In short, if you want to do this particular version of the Mk. 10, it will be up to you to determine the extent of the mods required. Or. . . you can check on this thread periodically. . .
In the meantime, this "core" list compiled before I ordered the kit should get you started. I will be adding to it as needed. . .
- Delete searchlight.
- Delete spotlight/s.
- Delete right smoke dispenser.
- Delete cupola MG: replace w/ “M2HB”(prop).
- Replace L11A5 barrel (including extensive mods to fume extractor; etc.).
- Delete and/or rework coax MG.
- Delete and sculpt or rework barrel ‘mask’.
- Delete PE bow wave-deflector; fill-in locating slot.
- Texturize metal surfaces (anti-slip coating)
- Replace solid tie-down brackets on skirts with PE and or wire.
Before closing I will say that the barrel replacement is well-underway! The stock barrel is com- prised of four pieces/two sub-assemblies. The replacement barrel is comprised of two modified sub-assemblies from the kit, two pieces of brass tubing, and a "scratchbuilt" barrel 'mask'. Once the barrel is done, the rest of the kit should be a pleasant and uncomplicated walk in the park!
Stay tuned!!
