 I just took a quick look at what's in the box,it looks GREAT to me and judging from all that blue on the instructions there's plenty for the spares bin too.  As for the DS tracks, from the bunches of photos i've seen most PzIIIs' tracks were pretty tight with very little sag but i've got a set of Magic Tracks just in case if I need them in the spares bin. I've got a lot of painting to do so I'll save the start of this one for a rainy or cold day. Tony lee  |

Tony, I've had good luck sagging DS tracks. 'Course it all depends how tight they are to start with.

Looks like a slight amount of sag on the tracks in the pic but nothing serious .

They were in desperate need of infantry support and since the PzII 15cm was a failure they came up with one on a PzIII chassis. This will make a good stable mate for my two PzII 15cm SIG 33's. Tony lee PS: the forecast is for rain starting Friday for three days,I might get started on it after all. |

Mine got held up for a day or two cause of the storms out east so it should be here Sat. I'm itching to get started on mine so I'll be watching you Tony on yours. BTW - I for one don't use DS tracks on my German armor, I use Magic or AM, love that sag.

Started Lower hull and running gear: I've built a few PzIIIs so it was a walk down memory lane but this kit seems to have more detail,maybe not it could be just the fresh cut molds.   I did my chores I had on my list to do and by that time the humidity had really gone up so I thought I would do a little something but I got carried away a little bit. How sweet it is Tony lee PS: I had to drill out the torsion bar holes a tad so the bar collars would fit flush with the hull on one side. There are several "A"&"B" sprues so you'll have to sort through them to find the correct part numbers needed. |
