Allo! I hope you're all staying sane. Some more modelling for you. I've finished reworking the jack and added clamps. For some reason the 'Panzer tracks' book doesn't have a drawing of the jack. As its one of the better parts supplied with the kit reference photos were used instead for detailing.
The crank handle looks OK but I couldn't find an image of it as it is so its a simple fix to alter it.

The sole plate was off center so its been cut off and centered.

Plastic putty was used to fill sink marks. Additional plastic was added to the back of the sole plate and the base plates of the clamps are fixed.

The rest of the clamps are a mix of plastic rod and sprue.

That is the most detailed 3 I've ever seen.
Can't wait to see more.

Greetings sir,

I am really enjoying your detail work, top shelf!

It will serve as inspiration for my Pz III when I get around to it. ;)
