As I wanted this to be a quick build, I built it straight out of the box – no extra photoetch. However, because they would be important items on such a vehicle, I did use the tow cable set by Eureka XXL “T-34/85 Model 1944 Factory 112” (ER-3530), which was very easy to put together. I used the Friulmodel metal tracks (ATL-09) – 72 links per side. I also got the “Unditching logs” set (Reality in Scale #35239) to add later.
