Indeed, the Pendelschürzen all scraped up look just as they would after a march through a wooded area or narrow town streets. And the stowage: why, there's enough on there for an American tank, Americans being notorious for hauling a bunch of stuff.

Ehhh... there is a machine gun sticking out of the drivers visor?

If so, who's steering the tank haha!

Interesting to see the tracks being fitted backwards, can be seen in some era photographs too...
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Can only guess that once the track is removed and then laid out for refitting that if it’s backwards & no one noticed beforehand it’s not worth the time mucking around to corre ct it ?
