Hi Stian,

Great work so far - but sorry, I hope you will not hate me for saying this after you bought those aftermarket tracks and repositioned those bolts...

Somewhere in the web I read that the real flaw of the Italeri kit tracks is that only half of the chain links should be "horny" - I mean, have a guiding tooth. I remember myself looking at WW2 period photos to confirm it before cutting off the offending teeth, which I eventually did quite easily - so I suppose I found evidence.

**********************************************************
Oh, and now I see you HAVE already corrected the front plate bolts - I had looked at a photo with one of them shadowed, then posted the message I´ve just deleted. Sorry.
**********************************************************

Greetings,
David

Long time since last post on this one. Doing both 1/35 and 1/16 scale takes up time, and I tend to start a New thing before ending the other.. Need to stop that..

So I need to add mud to the lower parts and some tidy up on the upper parts.

Stian, this is coming along nicely, really well done!
Its great to see one of the old kits get this much attention, you've pulled it off well, any plans to add crew?
Eric.
