Thanks everyone!
And I used Tamiya Wood Deck Tan XF78, then very thin stripes of XF92 and XF52, is based on a method I think Paul discribed in some topic..
Indeed is the Alllcad smell horrible, but I do like their colors.. have a nice sand color I might use on the M3.

That is a nice little kit Bert  . It needs some work here and there, but it is worth the effort. If you are using Friul aftermarket tracks, then you will need widen the drive sprocket and idler. If you don't do this the track will not fit  . |

Thanks everyone!
Paul, as I will be using the original tracks I hope they will fit.. I usually build the kits as they come, unless something came with the kit, like the AA set for this one.. which was second hand, and is missing a few parts..

The kit tracks are a pain, but they fit the wheelage |

Thanks guys. Today I have been wrestling with some PE and resin...     
And as I had moved the driver to be sitting on top of the turret I will have to add another driver.. The wheels of the AA set are much nicer than the Heller ones.. but if I want to use them, I will have to cut out the wheels of the Heller until I have the outer rim, the ruber, left... and glue that onto the resin ones... hmmm... alternative is gluing bolts onto the Heller wheels.. about 10 on each wheel.. not decided yet.. |

Still looking good Bert . I would glue bolts to the Heller wheels |

@paul: I just hate that tiny tiny detailing... haven't figured out yet how to make those bolts... but will give it a try..

Bert I don't if have seen these over in the Niederlande, but try and get some. They'll make your life a lotz easier . The set shown here starts with nuts at 0.8mm¢ and go up to 1.8mm (i think). You get two styles, one is the bolt head the other is the bolt thread with a nut and washer in place. www.dersockelshop.de/meng-models-me-sps005 |
