Like Paul I've not seen this kit built before. To be honest I've not heard of this tank. Looks like you're off to a good, neat start.

Got to say they really have gone to town with the detail in the turret.got to get some practice in with this

 

[geegad]

Added some weld seems not to sure if it's a little over the top around the gun hatch.but I think the sides need a little weld attention

Well not much to show don't get much bench time .well thought this would be a easy kit to get ease me back in ....wrong this is the detail in the top half of the turret

 

[geegad]

Well been working on this for a couple of weeks a complete kit in it's self ..could do with a picture of the inside of this turret,but unfortunately it's a paper panzer

 

[scottie3158]

Some very nice detail

 

[geegad]

Right having a nightmare with this tank...the dog jumped up and broke the shelf which in turn completely squashed the turret basket so now no detail painting on the inside

And now this is where I need help,the tracks that come with this are most probably the worst I have ever seen in a kit warped flash ridden and molds missing ..so I need help if anyone knows of where to buy aftermarket tracks please hit me up and lete know ..will post some pics to show u ..many thanks

 

[geegad]

Right so finally done the tracks about 17 cuts on my fingers and blood everywhere they are done . Good job! You can cover up a multitude of sins with mud and dirt on the tracks..got the basic figure out lay all got new heads and still some filling to do on some of them ...and got to say a big plus is have a 3d printed figure from Spartan 3d really help not clean up

.....a little blood & tears always improves the model.....Figures are excellent. Would not like to be driver & asst. fighting w/turret crew to get out of burning tank.
