Here's my Italeri Panzerwerfer - an old kit with AM from Royal Models (I think!), and, of course, Friul tracks. Built and painted a few years ago when over-chipping was fashionable! However, here it is for your criticism, etc...

The kit looks great, good job, if I had to find a fault, maybe, just maybe, the track is too loose. But if you used the royal model upgrade i have to ask how did you glue the two part (front/back) resin rocket tubes? How do you get them to be straight and even? Just seems impossible without a lot of gap filling, really the only fault with the resin set.
I would have thought the track is too loose also, but after viewing several photos of real ones (available on Google image search), they all have considerable track droop. I may be wrong about it being Royal Models upgrades - I built this 3 - 4 years ago.
I checked photos of real Panzerwerfer's again and vehicles in motion have tight track, but most stationary vehicles have varying degrees of track sag. Maybe some kind of automatic track tensioning devise when in drive? Also noticed (way too late!) that Italeri got the ammo storage totally wrong - should be vertical stowage instead of horizontal!
