The running gear is worst part about those old Dragon kits, way too many parts . But if you're careful with the sticky stuff, it does remain workable , just needs workable track links later

But if you're careful with the sticky stuff, it does remain workable , just needs workable track links later I know... now it's not workable... let's see how that goes. If it doesn't work out I still have around 10 kits to get it right
Small update ::

Looks like a a great kit if a bit complicated for me You are correct Steve... those W29 / W30 parts from the last photo are swapped, another mistake from the instructions. And the N22 - N10 assembly is completely unnecessary over engineering ... it could be a simple single piece but no... they decided it would much better do have a tiny 3 parts assembly.

Dragon made a mistake on the instructions? That can't be. 🤣🤣 Lots of tiny parts.

Small but fine, you cannot beat the detail on those Dragon K 8-)its The instructions sometimes can be tricky, you have to dry fit everything twice, but I have to admit, they have a lot of detail on these Panzers . Well with this BuildLog I will be able to compare them with other brands.

Small update here, worked a little on the upper hull and fenders, today I wanted to keep it simple and get myself into the madness of the running gear.

That`s a serious amount of kit manufactures right there John ..........yeah it would be rude not to add the Academy one into the mix.....i mean let`s face it....there`s only 8!!!, mind you there is a MiniAaaaarg one in there so i suppose that counts as five on it`s own!!

I know... I'm missing an Academy and a Zvezda Panzer IV.
I might get the Academy Ausf.H since I will be using Tamyia's Ausf.H for the Syrian Conversion so I'll have free space for the Academy one.
