Nice Panther Oliver. I particularily like the camo and weathering.
In a few of the first images you have the tracks assembled, and then painted, but they are laying flat on both occasions. Are they kit tracks or are they AMs? Just wondering how you managed to assemble them in advance, and without hardening.

hi, I use the Tamiya glue. The one coming in the glass pot. Even after it dry you can bend your tracks. In some section it will break but it not complicated to fix. Also, because it very dirty you can rework over it and hide stuff.
