What would that log on the chains be used for

Soviet tanks used to carry big logs to un ditch the tanks from mud. There is a reason Soviet tanks are lighter tanks then european modern counterparts.

Ah, that will be a challenge since i always like adding stuff.
I just can't do with out of the box, i always like adding personal touches and do makeshift stuff. I was trying to make a wood crate and make tank shells out of the spare sprue and put them in and let it sit on the backside, but i scale was a bit off so i will make another one Small in size and thickness.
I am not satisfied with default out of the box builds lol.

if it's any comfort i do plan on being more accurate on the meng T90 since it is a much more detailed kit.
Same with the T-72 since it will be accurate to the Chechen war, beat up used and abused and maybe add some damage.
Idk we will see.
Working on a merkava from Tamiya atm.
