I just picked up the new Trumpeter 1/72 Sd. Kfz. 184 Elephant. I have not begun to assemble it yet, but it looks pretty nice. I chose the kit because it includes three things I have never done: 1. Zimmermit, 2.etched parts, and 3. individual link tracks. I figured it would be a good idea to tackle all three of these new skills in a model that cost me only $14. So I have a couple of questions. I have read how to do Zimmermitt in 1/35, is there anything I should know about doing it in 1/72? Are those individual link tracks going to be pure hell in 1/72? Any tips on tackling these problems in this scale would be greatly appreciated! Any helpful comments on this kit or Trumpeter's new 1/72 armor line would also be great. Thanks in advance.
