My friends, the Sicaran tank is ready for painting. In fact, it's already broken down and covered with Mr. Mahogany primer at the moment :)

You might've noticed that it doesn't have a commander figure in the turret. As I was assembling him, I noticed it was just a torso with a large cork-stopper-like bottom that goes into the open hatch. But unfortunately, that feature would be painfully visible. I know that we can cheat a lot with paints, but I'll try to paint this model in a more realistic fashion, and I don't know yet how much I'll be able to rely on shading.

Because of that, I'm still keeping the figure as an option which I might add later!

you know Martin if you carry on in this vein youll be cleaning mould lines of resin figures en mass and building armies like a warlord in training. when it comes to warhammer armies, Stalin was right, quantity has a quality all of its own.... "Do it"

Uhm, one thing I noticed: there is a spot on each side, where is a welding line missing. Why is that? Can the sides be lifted of, or are they doors like an old SL300?

Hey, Soviet tanks didn't have their casting seam lines cleaned-up, why should a Warhammer army be any better, right? :D

Good catch. The front part where I added a panel line is bolted in place, and that large interlocking steel plate at the back of each sponson is just a weird design choice. So I decided to make it look as some kind of positioning or alignment element that was welded to the main hull and the sponson slides on top of it.
