Any clean up required on the PZ III tracks? I've had two sets of MC T-34 early style 550mm waffle tracks that were marred with heavy flash, mold slip, blind holes, chipped, an gate remnants. Are all MC resin tracks like my experience?

Some have a little flash that cleans up easy. The main problem however is the need to drill out every single hole or the track pins won't fit. If they were just a tiny bit larger the tracks would be perfect.

After assembling about 3cm over the course of one hour I'm inclined to suggest a more thorough approach:

I was more like this when I tried to build some;

On the plus side Philipp, you have made good progress on the rest of the tank

Thanks Vincent

A little more progress:


I didn't notice in time that the tank I'm going to build has spare wheels mounted. The kit doesn't include any, probably because someone at Dragon in their infinite wisdom probably thought cutting off the relevant parts from the sprue would save the company a few cents and the hapless modeller some confusion at the sight of too many wheels...

Thankfully Tamiya's Stug B kit comes with two nice superfluous spare wheels and their mounts.

It's looking like a nice little build Philipp, following with interest

Thanks Adam! Hopefully I'll have it ready for painting in a little while. Excluding the tracks, that is

Can't wait to see it in paint!
