I wonder when we will see the Berge E-100, the ammunition resupply E-100 and maybe even the troop carrier version for the heavy PanzerGrenadiere.... With a "fake" gun and some extra antennas they could easily make the BefPz E-100 command version which could then easily be converted to the artillery observation post version. A heavy bridgelayer would be really awesome / Robin

Will likely not buy another amusing kit due to the tracks on the Lowe I bought. They are not complex or detailed kits, just put rubber band tracks in with them.

I have that in the stash. How did the tracks build?

The little cleats did not have enough bite to hold the links together. I got both runs built but putting them on the running gear made them fall apart. By the time I had enough glue on them to hold them together they did not have the proper pivot points and had no credible flow. I bought Fruil tracks for the first time, doubling the cost of the kit. They are not together yet.

Thanks. I will keep that in mind.

Tat, I've had the opposite experience to Greg. I just built the new Bar kit from Amusing (waiting to put on the camo!)and I've done the Lowe, and I had no issues with the tracks. I just used a small bead of Testors Liquid cement on each locating pin. No issues. I've put them on and off the road wheels a couple of times to get the proper length and all is good.

Thanks Bill. Do put some pics of your Bar when done. I would imagine that it's one big brute. So far I've managed to control myself from getting one in my last couple of sorties to the LHS, but if its still there the next time I go, then it must have my name on it.
