Cool! I have the Hobby Boss kit which is infamous because of the suspension being a mirror image. Does this one have the correct offset suspension positions?

Looks alright to me.
I can't tell if it's the _correct_ amount of offset, but appears to leave enough room for one torsion bar from each side in parallell without interfering with each other..
( Seems to be a good kit with plenty potential. Both back door and top hatches can be opened, but there is no interior unfortunately. Kit comes with two figures, a commander and a gunner. I was toying with the idea to extend this to include standing infantry in the back with the roof hatches open. Maybe the lack of interior then would be blocked?

Thanks! Looking at picture 4 I can see that there is an offset, at least that's more realistic than on my Hobby Boss one. 🙂 Indeed, by blocking all the hatches with infantry figures a lot of empty space can be camouflaged. Maybe you could detail the immediate surroundings of those hatches and doors and go lighter on the detailing the more you get to the empty center of the vehicle.

Turns out a bit tricky since I would need to do sculpting of the bodies to pose them in the right way. Also, I would need to source weapons. For now, I will leave the rear hatches closed. (They do have movable hinges, but they don't fold like they're supposed to) Maybe not glue too well and this can be changed..
Feel like doing something extra though. Maybe winter camo and skirack folded open with a complement of "Vita Blixten" military issue skis in the back?

Did some more work on this, all tracklubks now in place, ready for painting.

Thanks
It's Tamiya XF-83 with a light dusting of Alclad chrome and some dry brushing of Modelmaster stainless steel buffing metalizer.

Great to know! Thanks :-D
(By the way, for anyone following, I have made some updates to my Lansen album, for some reason updates to this album does not seem to make it to the Newsfeed anymore, but can be reached through my profile)

Tracks are looking good. Did you paint the rubber tracks while still on the sprue?

Thanks Bryn,
The rubber pads are actually not painted.
Just the raw black plastic surface.
I'll try some weathering directly on plastic, see how that goes..
