When you said Bieber I was a little worried. There is no place in modelling for young annoying popstars!!

Fantastic work, really well done.

SUPER COOL and a fantastic job! Lots of fun, too!

I've never so much as touched one of these kits (either subject / kits, actually!) - I know that both Bronco and HobbyBoss make several "versions" of LWS - between the 2 companies they have put out, what, 6 LWS kits? That's about half as many kits as there were actual vehicles made (12, I think)! Your rendition looks awesome. The bike looks like a guy could just grab it and go for a spin, and that faux-gun arrangement is just the bomb! Did anyone actually do that to one of these LWS? Aside from being a huge monster, that "gun" work makes this into a nice "Panzerattrapen"! - a faux-tank as used by the Germans in much of their training!

I would comment, having looked at oodles of posted build-pics and those few available pics of the "real thing", that you appear to have "weighed in" on the reversed - tracks side! The real thing pics I've seen show those tracks running the other way... like the Pz. IV (longer side of each link leading on the top run either side). About half the build pics I've seen show kits built running one way, and half the other - at least none have one running each way (historically OK on Panzer I but not seen on other marks, best I know...!)! From this, I need to ask a naive question...: What do the kit instructions offer on this? Given as builders are so split, I wonder!

Regardless of the track issue, again, I think your build is terrific and very very interesting! Thanks for posting it!

Cheers!
