Nicely sorted Mence Wheels can be a chore at times, specially from a Tiger or Panther ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

Well, we have success, I'm in no doubt that fitting the running gear before the fenders is the way to go but with a little planning you can achieve it later in the build. Tracks are nice, two pieces of flexible vinyl / resin per run which take primer and paint well. I managed to break one but fortunately they respond positively to Cyano and I was able to fix it. Added the light guards to the hull earlier, they were fun. ![](https://media.fotki.com/2v2ehc2KNxAhzNs.jpg)

Even the Ontos is huge in 1/16th scale. Fine work, sir!

Update alert! Got the majority of small bits attached to the outside and first coat of colour on. Quick pic shows some of my over done interior weathering. ![](https://media.fotki.com/2v2ehPku8xAhzNs.jpg) Back soon.

And a little more. Rear doors are now on, so is the door for the spare shell storage. Turret? Is starting to take shape as well. ![](https://media.fotki.com/2v2ehPkJMxAhzNs.jpg)

Love it, Mence! That interior weathering is not overdone at all. I think it looks great. These vehicles were absolutely beat to hell in the field, especially at Hue City.

I forgot to ask,are they two piece barrels ? The basic barrel tube is, you add the breech etc. to it.

Chaps. More fiddly than I expected largely due to the tight fit but the barrels are painted and installed. Plenty more to add but the finish line is in sight. ![](https://media.fotki.com/2v2ehNF5NxAhzNs.jpg) Cheers.
