I agree it’s a subjective topic, just had a different outcome in mind than what I see is all.
Pushing on, the track segments on 722 seem to be piled up but loose and that doesn’t work for me!
The Kubinka example that Mr Jee so wonderfully photographed for us has retaining plates on the upper glacis plate .
I went with that idea.
Spare unknown metal links secured and faux retainers made using bolts sliced fom a StuG add on armoured plate on top of styrene strips to get the look near enough .
A loose link was chucked on to get a haphazard feel without going as far as the piles!!

That’ll do Pig, that’ll do!

I've always liked that style of camo on German tanks and I think it looks the part. Keep it up. :)

Me too. I've come to prefer the 2 tone camo on panzers over the tri colour and I prefer the green rather than red bands. That's going to look cool and the camo will fit right in when it's transported after Kursk to Italy

Mr Bix. You are being to hard on yourself. Once it is weathered it will look fantastic. It already does.
