That's a nice looking tank, I've got one of these too. Be warned about the tracks...they don't really fit together unless you cut away a little from every single link.

Thanks for the tip, Philipp. I was going to replace them with metal tracks, any way.

Definitely the better option. I started to prepare the tracks on mine but didn't get very far. Might just build it as a wreck without tracks....

And...we're off and running.
I've got the majority of the lower hull done, suspension and running gear. Very simple build so far. No fit issues at all.
While the suspension arms are setting, I moved ahead a bit and fitted the fenders to the upper hull.
I'm really liking this kit. And it won't take long to build.
Thanks for looking.

Looking good!
It would be nice if Hobby Boss would also release the Swedish Landsverk tanks these were based on.

Hmmm..., I didn't know that. I haven't done much research on these: I thought Hungary developed them.

It reminds me of a Tamiya kit. Just seems to fall together
