Looks like a very neat and tidy build Philipp -- you would never have guessed you had encounteredany issues.

Hi Rob, Vincent, Steve, thanks for looking in!

Steve, yes, it is the AFV Club kit. Despite my grumblings it is actually a really well engineered kit - the part fit so far has been excellent.

Building the tracks is one of the areas I'm really not looking forward to, so I'll have lots of...

While I continue to work on the spades it is time to start the Sd.Kfz.11.

I'm slowly working on fixing the big seam on the spades. This mainly involves a little filler, settled down by some Extra Thin, then sanded, repeating the process until I'm happy. This is taking some time! In between cycles I've wrapped up as much as possible of the rest of the build http://www.newe...
