So I've been away from the hobby for a few years but now I've moved to a new place and I want to get right back into it. Some of my old models were damaged badly during the move and so I've decided to rebuild my favorites, I'm really into the 38(t).

For my first project, I went with DML's Grille Ausf.M kit which I had a lot of fun with the last time around. This time I've got Nuts & Bolts' awesome reference book and Griffon Models' PE set to use.

Up 'till now I've done most of the basics, I'm trying to get the tracks to look good right now. I'll work my way from the bottom up and start adding PE parts soon. I hope this one goes without a hitch!

Welcome back to the addiction. The tracks look perfect. A very nice start. I have comtemplated buying this kit. No pressure, but your build will be the deciding factor.

Thanks everyone! This is a very nice kit but sadly I'm moving along a bit slower than I had planned. The PE parts arrived later than I had hoped and I have less spare time. So far I've gotten some hinges done. I left out the interior detail in the driver's compartment seeing as it won't be visible later on. The gun assembly is quite tricky but I was expecting nothing else. Here are a few progress shots:













Next up are the fenders. I hope I can make some real progress this week. Keep your fingers crossed for me, cheers!
