Started building this little fella. Some great detail for 1/72.  Builds up like a 1/35 kit. Suspension arms are keyed to fit only one way but there is a bit of wiggle room so you need to keep an eye out to keep them inline with each other.  3 piece rear idler wheel.  Great fit to both pair.  |

Bookmarked! From your acquisitions thread this looks to have a ton of detail to it for the scale.

I've seen a few of them built by a guy at the local ipms can't believe how detailed they are for 1/72

Man that is dealing in the size "teeny" stuff right there Mike! Looking forward to seeing you work your detailing magic on what looks like a good kit.  |

Bookmarked! From your acquisitions thread this looks to have a ton of detail to it for the scale. It does indeed have "A ton of detail". Quite possibly more then even a couple 1/35 would. But also some very teeny tiny p/e that will probably remain in the frame, we will see. |

Had to see how the p/e looks in place. Again, nice fit.  |

Oh jeez, 72nd?!?! Impressive detail in such small scale. The detail really is impressive, here is the metal barrel and two 3-D muzzle brakes. One is even designed with canvas cover in place. As a bonus it has a fine barrel with muzzle brake in plastic if you so wish. Either way I come out with a fine detailed main gun for any future projects.  |

Individual periscopes to install on cupola.  Glad that's done! They give you an extra and I'm glad they did.  |

Coming on very nicely. Heard great things about Vespid and even have four of their early Comets in the stash!

This is awesome Mike. You are doing such an excellent job on this wonderful kit. I am definitely following you on this as this will aid me in my endeavors when I get around to building my Vespid 1/72 Jagdpanther. It sure made me drool when I opened the box and examined it.

The tracks look a bit daunting First side came out alright. Fiddly and time consuming, the second set always goes faster knowing what to expect.  |
