Should be a fairly straight forward build; no after market stuff???.some sort of tri-color camo scheme (big surprise)??.or, not sure yet???I?m thinking maybe some sort of panzer gray and red-brown camo? Not sure???..

Hey James looking forward to this one, i have this kit and the only thing stopping me is the track holder brackets, they dont have locating marks on the turret and im afraid if i start cutting into the zimmerit my measurements will be off and i will mess up a beautiful kit im looking forward to see how you tackle this

hmmm..........thanks for the heads up!
I see what you?re referring to??Step 20/21??
No indicators inside of the turret???
I could simply leave the spare tracks off, but they look too cool. I?ve got a while to figure it out, but offhand I?m thinking that assembling the track links with the holder brackets in them, then mounting this sub assembly to the turret might be the way to go?

i have thought about that to, but my concern with that is the top and bottom pair are offset from one anther and for me its a tough nut to crack, leaving them off really limits (historically) the vechicles you can build as only a few of the henshel turrets did not have the brackets

I see the offset and that doesn't concern me much>
There is a review at Armora (armorama.com/modules..wcontent&id=3140) and it suggests my sub assembly idea??.
