+Markings modelled: «LIDICE» in white block capitals on both rear-side turret faces (1943 only).
+The 1941 variant is unmarked, since no dated photo of a marked 1941 turret was found. Weathering:
+mud to ~1 m on running gear and lower hull, soot around the rear exhausts.
+
+## Parts the engine needs
+`turret` (sway ±20° about Z), `gun` (sway ±5° about Y), `wheel_{l,r}_{0..4}`, `idler_*`,
+`sprocket_*` (spin), `track_l/r`, emitters `exhaust_smoke_l/r`, `track_dust_l/r`, `muzzle`.
+
+## Open questions
+- Web search hit its quota while I was looking for a dated «За Родину» photo; the Cyrillic slogan
+  option (glyph set) is left for a follow-up.
+- The fuel drums push the width to 3.13 m (still inside the 5% box). On the real tanks they sit
+  just as proud of the side plates.
