Here can see some pictures of a piece of armour in progress, it's not a Pzkpfw 38, but maybe you you can find some good ideas here.

Hi Chris. Welcome to FSM forums. You'll find pleenty of nice people here to give you advice and tips, but maybe you'll teach us a few too! The Pz 38 is an awesome project. I love the early WWII stuff, as there are so many interesting subjects to model. Good luck, and keep in touch.

Chris; welcome to the great world of scale modeling, and you just entered the best place to get almost(some of which you'll find on you own) all the info needed to produce the most ausome peace of work you've ever created, I've been modeling for over 35 years but I just got on line with this web site, if there's any info you want it's right here, and my suggestion is that time is your friend, don't over exceed you expectations, with time you'll over come most problems by setting the kit down and walk away for a few then when you go back the anwser will be right as rain, trust me its like it never happened to me?!?!, but don't get flustered when something doesn't go right you maybe tired, thats all, as for you first kit try to build it as per directions and after a few you be able to do some things you dying to try----good luck----- have fun----- and relax and become a model freak
