Looking really good and love the winter tracks :thumbup:
Having the return rollers that wee bit higher the tracks seem to sit better on them

Replacing the returnrollers just brings the model a bit closer to the real thing!
It‘s all about the looks, and later with some Schürzen alongside, you won‘t see much of it I‘m afraid.

Looking at the work you guys put in, almost makes me want to leave the big, modern stuff alone, and have a go at small tank. Especially if I can saw, and hack stuff about.

Raising the return rollers does improve the look and stance though.
