Default $8 Hellhound

Whilst perusing my local model shop I was going through the clearance section, which is mostly train stuff, but the old man had recently put in some other models which hadn't been selling well. I took a look and found a 1/35th Panzer II "Flamengo" flamethrowing tank. It was about 75% off and my inner tread head and modeller couldn't pass up an opprotunity like that. Once I got it out of the box I was suprised at how little it is for a 1/35th. It's barely an inch longer than a chimera and exactly as wide. So I got to work building a hellhound out of this little flamethrower. Not quite complete but I'd like some opinions on it.

Hey, not half bad looking tank there... I'd model it with an actual Heavy Bolter, myself, but otherwise it looks great.

Nice, I love the tracks. Other than Novae's heavy bolter suggestion (which I second) it looks great.

Yeah I gotta order me some of those extra fuel drums that come on the Vehicle Accessory Sprue. Kinda wondering where to mount them. I was considering the peice of sloping armor just behind the antennae , or on the very back of the tank where spare track links are supposed to be mounted. In anycase a heavy bolter is just too tall to mount on the front of this little tank, hence the autocannon barrel and machine gun mount I used.
