Looking real good Tony! The schurzen make a Panzer IV look so much more imposing.

Here are shots with the completed turret,the armor was slightly warped.I straightened it with some warm water.Everything is done except for extra tracks and small small bits.

Ohhh, that looks good Tojo! Bought my first Border model a couple months ago but haven't built one yet. Looks good!

How are those tracks?

Very nice,came from Poland in about a week,total $29.00 you click them together by pressing down with tweezers last links are open so they get wired or pinned.whole run took about 20 min,there are videos online.

I started this recently,it's going good so far.I would say that it's similar to Dragon kits in detail,the plastic might be a little softer,and some of the attachment points are pretty thick,but all in all it's going well
It's not gonna be a full blog,but I'll post some updates
