Freddy,

That is really top notch work. You've exhibited some very professional modeling skills there. It looks simply great. :clap: :clap: :clap:

There would be a vast market out there were you to make them available to the fanatics among us.

not entirely correct; it's is available with plastic tracks until metal tracks will be available again (in process).
The page will be updated.

That's the direct link to the RC Version:

Some test printing took place to improve the design.

More details have to be designed (especially the engine hood and at the inside of the hull), before the first prototype will be printed.

Available will it be here soon:

Keep you updated.

Do you think the framework parts will hold in PLA / Resin? I am working on a Sdkfz 7 making the tires of TPU. Works quite well.Image

...that was only the prototype. After testings, I´ve desided to switch to SLS printed parts made of PA (all white parts visible in the picture). That´s really solid and wear resistant.
