HobbyBoss 80132
Some flash to clean up..
First kit where I have to work with individual bolt heads. Hobby Boss rebox of Tristar kit.
Individual bolt heads on the final drive and the underside of the chassis.
The suspension is made up of seven pieces.
The tires are quite loose when test fitted on the wheels.. so I decided I'll paint them separately.

First time working with PE chains. Instruction diagrams are vague. I attached the PE to spare kit bolt heads after checking my panzer IV references.
I also added spare track holder.
