Following along on this build, it's a great little tank and a challenge to build as well, can't wait to see the little beastie running.

Mick I wish you mentioned this about two months ago lol when I was sticking steel pins into my fingertips and loosing my eyesight trying to duplicate 1mm holes from each side almost 400 times. If and when I attack the Luchs conversion in the future and this is needed I will employ your trick

You buy the metal tracks from Ludwigs and don't drill them

- You will need his sprockets as well , as the tracks don't mesh with the kit ones . ( He does idlers too - but they are over sized , dunno why , maybe because they're designed for the Hetzer ? ) They are nice though !

So good things come to those who wait....
I finally was able to process the order from 35rctank last Thursday and it arrived today from China to the East Coast of the USA ! Talk about speed post. So cudos to them for thier incredible shipping service.
The Box was neatly packed up. I've sorted all all the major components of the kit and paperwork to show anyone who is interested in thier products.
The kit is well organized and I'll let you be the judge of the components as I show them to you.
I will be a very happy man this week.....
My next post will show all the parts of the kit
