Workable spring suspension, casting numbers on parts, wooden idler, optional tripod mount for the machine gun if not used on the tank-it seems they covered everything. It really is a nice looking kit.

Those tracks look great, this is definitely going to be a fun build! I don't think I have any buyers remorse left after seeing this video
