Steward,
Really nice looking build so far. The detail you have added is superb. Keep at it. I concur with Dale, if I only could afford one of these too....The SDKFZ 7 is a cool looking rig.

Thanks for helping us dream vicariously through your build!
Bob

Thanks for the replies gents :D

Yes it is starting to look nice at last 8)

For anyone wondering why the track links look shiny?

:lol: Three in one oil did that as I doubt I will ever be able to afford
the motion packs to power the beasty :lol:

I have no where to run it anyway and there is no way I could ever
lift the beast off the desk. And yes the beast is on a railway like
turntable as it makes it easier to work on :D

Regards Stewart

Hi Simon,
Yes it is an exceptional kit to build and because its an open
vehicle theres plenty of scope for super detailing.
