Looking Great so far.
Just a note, when you get to the Track be sure to install the Track Pins with their heads toward the body of the tank.
On the Panzer IV they had a washer and wire clip on the outside.

Hi Magnus

Looking great, got this one in my stash, just wondering what glue are you using for the zimmerit.

Thanks for take the time to share the build.
