That is some awkward looking vehicle. Maybe someday, when my skills are up to the task I'd think about doing a little kit bashing and take a crack at it. It's an interesting photo. Is that a helmet sitting on the forward deck? Looks too far to the front to be a driver's position. Looks like a...

Thanks you for your input gents, I really appreciate it. Decisions, decisions. Neither one sounds terrific, but I guess you get what you pay for, and for $6 or $7 bucks one can't really expect too much. The Panzer IV sounds intriguing, although I did have my heart set on a Panzer I. Maybe I'll...

I'm having such a good time building my Modelcard Panzer II (2nd build installment coming early next week), that I'm thinking of trying 1 more simple tank before I go on to something more complicated. I'd like to do another early WWII German tank, and I see that Modelik and Supermodel both...

This is the first installment of my running battle with the Modelcard Panzer II Ausf.C. This is my first shot at building a fully tracked armored vehicle. Hopefully it will be entertaining for you, and theraputic for me. First Impressions/Observations Nice cover art. I notice that some...

OMG Jim! I don't think I'm ready for THAT yet. The tracks alone are a model. I think I'd run out of gas long before I finished one side. Just the thought of gluing on all the track cleats in my Modelcard kit is freakin' me out. The Halinksi kit would put me in a rubber room. Charlie, I'll be...

Thanks for the track tips Charlie, as well as the heads up on the fit problems with the hull. It sounds like you have experience with this kit. I hadn't considered the benefit of scoring the filler cardstock for a more natural sag. I thought I'd be able to accomplish it with glue alone, but...

I'm a newbie folks so I hope this post is in the right forum. I've completed my first armored vehicle - the Maly Putilow-Garford armored car and have now worked up the fortitude to deal with a tracked vehicle and all those little cleats and bogies and such. I will be building a simple tank...
