Robert - 

That's a great looking kit and so far an excellent job. I look forward to watching you advance on to the dio scenery. Enjoy the build!

That explains the referance to new parts i had seen mention of. I know they wilkl be small, they are the same tracks as used on the Pz I and i imagine similar to the 251 tracks in size.

A nice update there. And thanks for the heads up. I'll make a note of that.

You mention individual tracks, are these Am tracks or with the kit, mine has good old Italeri rubber band tracks, though i have a set of metal ones to replace them.

 

Bish mine came with the kit I think Tamiya updated the tracks when they reboxed the kit. They are some small links it should be fun. I am thinking about trying to build them kind of like link and length that is what the instructions show.

Thanks for stoping by and haveing a look Eric and Tojo

Good start so far. Keep them updates coming

Very cool vehilcle,looks good so far.

Nice start, good to see that resin is fitting well. Some nice dtail tehre.

For engine colours i tend to go for a slightly shiny black. I found it hard to find exact info, but thats what it looks like from the pics i have seen.

Eagle90 welcome aboard and I hope I can be helpful.

Bish thanks, I am lucky that the Verliunden set has only update parts for the engine and not a complete one.

O, nice, will be watching this. I have the Iraleri boxing that i will be doing later this year, so i'll be watching this.

I have found Verliunden sets hit and miss. I have found tehre engines in particular have fit issues, but otehrs sets have been fine.

What a great looking kit!  And all the extras are just going to take it over the top!  I'll be watching your progress and comments about resin and PE.  I have yet to adventure into that realm yet, so your thoughts and comments will be a great resource for me!  Awesome dio you have there!  Can't wait to see the progress pics!

Thanks Gamera I am also hoping that everything fits togather well.

Hey wow, very cool! I built the same kit in the Italeri box years ago. I don't remember any real issues with the kit- you should enjoy this one. I didn't add any aftermarket parts to mine though. Hopefully everything fits on yours without any issues.
