HL Stug mistake?

Post by Davarama »

Hi all. Working on my stug and noticed the spare track attached to the rear of the fighting compartment appears to be upside down. On the front the spare track is fitted as if it was slid down so the track guide horn rests on the top of the support bar, so I imagine the track could be lifted straight out but the rear track is fitted so the guide horn is below the bar so it is effectively trapped in place by the engine deck.

Sorry, no photos which would have helped!

I am assuming the bars were welded to the hull so is this an error?

Regards, Davarama.

one of quite a few issues - all of which can be rectified with a bit of effort.

Overall it is still a pretty good model.

Cheers
