Hi Michal, Just like Rolf's 88, I have to remind myself that I am not looking at a restoration of a real half track, With the red oxide undercoat and the scuff marks etc where you are working, test fitting etc. the pictures look like the real thing. When these master pieces are finished it would be great to see them together ! Have you thought what you are going to tow? your own 88 or are you waiting for the PAK 43 to be released when Mark does his next Kompact Kit?

Huge fan of this post
Martin.

Thank you Stephen.
I want to create the model of half track that will best reflect the original. It needs too much the patience.
