Looks fantastic

    I love the attention to deatil without making it look like a rolling junkyard/flea market. Some tankers over do it with crap all over the tank that would fall off the second they go cross country....LOL.  Please post some vieo of it in action, Balck and white shots would look great too.    Cheers  Bob thecommandernj

this model is probably the best i have ever seen anywhere with most of it being scratch built, its absolutely stunning in the flesh so to speak.

as for the criticism, it was more a case of a bunch of rivet-counters trying to show off their knowledge on a tank that didn't see production......oooohh the tracks are wrong ER!!! the sprockets are the wrong type!! its a heavy tank!! no its a medium tank!!  BLAH BLAH BLAH. >:( >:( >:(

some keyboard modelers need to appreciate it for what it is a bloody fine model with a lot of man hours expertise and thought put into it...................oz

This is an outstanding build and can I second what Oz has said in his reply to the rivet counters who have criticized this.  Martin I wouldn't have altered anything to your model, because of what these so called experts said. It was fantastic as it was.

keep up the great builds

Cheers

I like it just as much whichever tracks/sprockets you have on it  . A great " paper Panzer " which one can see has had a LOT of time and effort devoted to it. Well done once again Martin for your great work and for providing inspiration for others to have a go.

thanks to you all...... i know this forum appreciates modelling over absolute hyperthetical accuracy anyway!! i do thinkk the tracks improve the look tho and with the 3:1 metal gear box she really moves well now. gun recoils and full sound. a joy to run and pleasantly unique on the field. thanks again guys ur all top notch!!!!
