This is one of those builds that "size really does matter" !!
Are you going to keep the 8-set spare track links on the sides, or the later 12-set ?

Herman!
I considered the adding the extra track links but there are some really cool molded in casting marks and shell strikes that I would cover up if I did so. I'm reaching out and beginning to order the detail parts for this 'detail' Build ( Taigen\Torro really makes em' solid ) Tomorrow, I'm going to drive up to Pueblo and pick up the box load of new Paint and Primer I will need. I'm going to have to up my game on Markings since I wasn't really satisfied with the last set of Ped. Decals I ordered for the Pz IV. I'll have to get with Rad and order a set of stencils for the Markings this time.

Addendum: Herman!
Nothing in the mail yesterday. Just as well, I have spent the weekend mostly abed taking meds after a Docs Tele-Visit. Had a months long sinus issue that I could not treat over the counter any longer. I am feeling better today and looking forward to work tomorrow ( first time in a long time ) and the hopeful delivery of my parts.
regards,
Painless

P.S. I looked in on the Panzerturm Build for Alpha. It is going great guns! ( pardon the pun )

Nothing in the mail today either. I checked Tracking and the Package is in San Francisco having overshot Denver twice. The Package has seen more of the US in one week than I have in two years....

Gotta love it when your package makes a trip around the country while passing you by time and again.

Hello :D
superb beast, I have the same in its box, but with an original camouflage that I find dark and not matching? My opinion !!!! came out at the end of the conflict, and having browsed the net? looks like "Dunkelgeb" was the base color !!
