[webmax]

Hi.

This is my return to tank modelling after a long long time...




Building phase:
The lower part is nearly finished. Next step.....tracks.




Building the tracks...




Tracks....
Less than 30 minutes for each track.



Some sunday updates ... the building continue...

Welcome to the forum and Group Build! And good luck with your build!

Have not heard of these metal tracks - Easy Links Metal. I am guessing they are just getting snapped together and there is no pin to be inserted to hold them?

P.S. Just noticed - is the barrel suppose to be that long?

For the tracks you can see the building stage in this video:

P.S.: The barrel it's a 7.5cm KwK 40 L/43 normally seen in the Pz.Kpfw IV F2 version, I hope that some panzer expert don't blame me...

Before Xmas night build...

Try to fix a F2 barrel to a F mount...

On the first photo before the fixing, on the second photo the final version (maybe need more sanding and polish).

I had to change your title and take away "at Kursk". The Group Build is dedicated to 1945 only, so this way it will actually qualify

Working on the extra-armour...

The build is moving along!

How come you decide to replace the original spare track brackets with these?

So i can use the remain spare tracks from my tracks build...

New stuff for the "At Kursk" project.

My first modelling nightmare...

Very detailed but too small pieces to deal with. It takes me no less then 3 hours to build it.

Ready for priming...

Nice work so far. I need to check out some of those metal tracks. I have Fruil tracks for my current project here in the group build but may use your brand in the future.

Just a little bit of color modulation... Next step last highlight
