Nice work so far indeed Spud-O. Love the fact that you are using the Winterketten as well...they look cool...bit like a pimped tank by West Coast Customs ;D

I like these tanks. Cool lookin beasts. Good job on the tracks.
One good thing about having no locater pins is that there are no holes to fill if you leave the tools off.

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Yeap! I've been eye- balling this kit for quite some time and finally broke down and got it online after seeing your build log here. Spud'ola, nice job you have going on the lower chassis and Fruilmodel Winterketten's!!! I think this vehicle is totally ugly and presents a wonderful large sized target at just about any angle and range, hihi. But I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that gun. The Fruilmodel or Modelkasten tracks are a good idea but I don't know which of the available Panzer III/IV sets would be the most appropriate to obtain for this kit Any help from any of you fellows with this issue would be much appreciated.

Small update, I finished the Fenders for now, There isn't a lot on them so they didn't take too long to do, Next up was the Rear Deck This was a Plick of a thing as the Gide around the deck that held the tow cable had no locator marks for me to work with so i had to use some Guesstimates from the instructions Next up the super structure

Tidy work there Spud. Nice, crisp, PE work. Do you like the bender tool that you got? Does it work well? Thinking about putting one on the list.

Looking good. I have to ask you this... how do you manage to find time to build and order many things at the same time?

Hi Spud, love this tank! Ugly and beautiful, my favourite kind. That's some good progress mate, makes me eager to get to the bench!

Nice work so far Spud. Might want to go back with a knife tip and clean the Trans access hatch seams a bit, looks like excess glue or something. Might come back to bite you when the washes are applied. Just a thought mate.
