Looking good Tony.  I like that camo.  I can't believe they put 4 dudes in that tiny thing!

That looks good Tojo! Nice work! 

And I don't blame you on replacing the track links. They'd have to be tiny! 

I got back from vacation in NJ Monday night and my Fruil tracks had arrived early from the Czech Republic,so I got a small start on them,man they are small as you can see,but the process is easy and as I get more time,they will grow quicker.

thanks for checking in

It is looking great so far!  I find that the Fruilmodel tracks add a certain depth of realism to any tank model. Good luck!

Yup! And don't forget Scale weight!

Looking very good so far Tojo.

Eduard made one a while back and is really nice.

Thanks guys

Like the US Hellcat, big gun, light armor but fast a tank destroyer.

Very cool!!! I did metal track links on a Japanese Type 95 some years ago, about the same size links. I had to shove a bit of wire into the soft metal of every link. Ended up with very sore hands by the time it was all over....

But as Bill said they do look great, the heft of the metal's weight looks soooo good compared to the plastic tracks.

Looking real good Tony! You made quick work of building the basic vehicle. Now the tracks are your only real speed bump.

Well I know I shouldn't actually play football anymore,but now I know I can't even play catch at a BBQ.Dislocated right index finger,will probably keep me away from the bench for a little.Urgent care referred me to a hand specialist to make sure I avoid permanent damage.

OUCH!! Sorry to hear that! Wish you a speedy full recovery. 

Yeah OUCH Tojo, wishing for a swift and complete recovery! 

The finger is doing well,no surgery just splinted for another 2 weeks,but I was able to finish the tracks and do the weathering and got err done.It was a nice little kit except for the fragile tracks.

Check out the size difference with my KT

Great job! Other than maybe a little mud or dirt I'd not add anything. Superb job- love the rusting you did on the muffler!

Thanks Gamara,a little Mr Surfacer 500 on the muffler for texture,yes I went a little light on the pigments this time,just some faint streaking which is hard to see in the pics.

Nice job Tony.  It is a tiny vehicle, hard to believe they squeezed 4 dudes in there.  I love the finish.  Are you going to build big brother next? (Jagpanther)
