Looks great, I'm eager to see it painted!
Where'd you buy the kit though, out of curiousity? I took a quick look on ebay after seeing this and couldnt find it... Kinda want one now, lol.

The AH Rutscher isn´t sold seperately,but exclusively in pair with the E-100 or Bär/Bear at Modellbau Koenig (at least it´s their statement)

Ok, thanks! I've been planning to get an Amusing Hobby E-100 anyway... I'll have to remember that
Edit: Ouch, Only with E-100+Bar? And I'm dreading seeing that converted to CAD + shipping! Someday though.

Nah, you didnt confuse me, but the site says it's only in a bundle with both?

Either way, I'm honestly considering it, as a friend offered me a present of a few kits ordered off the 'net (As payment for a commision + birthday gift), and he is actually willing to get that bundle, So... Decisions.
As for the Trumpeter one, I'm just worried they'll sell it as a 'full' kit tbh (Edit: I mean for the price of a full kit despite being tiny)! Or take years to release it, lol

Judging by the colour of the plastic, they could be Trumpeter or maybe Modelkasten tracks.

It's fine. Atleast you got me on track to finding it!
I've already got some ideas on how to paint up the Bär to make it 'interesting' for me. I wasnt feeling it when I first saw that bundle, but I think I'm going to give it a shot!

Looks great so far IMO. The mix-and-match kinda suits it. My only 'complaint' is that the smoke dischargers would probably look nice in a red/yellow mix... But, it looks great as is!
Any chance you could get a picture of it next to another vehicle to get the idea of how small it is? Lol. Might be interesting.

Really well done! I like it more that way than completely in camo

Looks as nice as I thought it would!
It has me eager for mine to get here so I can get started on it, looks like a fun little build.
But, on that note, how many parts does the kit even have? I cant assume it's many, lol.
And what's the IR device from? Seems like a pretty 'natural' addition IMO.

Nice work. I dig those fresh welds
