So a bit of a disaster! At the beginning of the build when I was cleaning up the resin parts I damaged two of the wheels & to fix it I 3D printed some replacements. Well just as I'm finishing the last bit of weathering on the build I noticed that the wheels I printed are a different size to the rest of the wheels that came with the kit. The ones I printed were for the Panzer 38(t) but the wheels that came with the kit are the larger ones for the Hetzer. So not only did the kit incorrectly come with Hezter tracks it also has Hetzer wheels :-X I cant be bothered to print & paint a whole new set of wheels so I'm just going to replace the two Panzer 38(t) wheels with new Hetzer wheels, so they will at least all match.

Edit: I checked the TNH 57/900 diagram & the wheel size is the same as the Hetzer (82cm). It's using the smaller Panzer 38(t) tracks & sprockets tho, which made me presume the wheels were the smaller Panzer 38(t) ones too. Well that teaches me that I need to double check every part of a kit before I start printing replacement parts.

After a last minute setback I finally finished this little tank. It was a fun & simple build that allowed my to try out several new tools & techniques. This is also my first Panzer 38 tank build, it will soon to be joined by several more tho...

Nicely done! :smiley: :smiley:

Reminds me a bit of the Paper Panzers of the '46 Wunderheer, with its super-long gun barrel. ;)
