Hobby Boss brand new Pz.Kpfw. 38(t). The kit contains 26 injection moulded parts. The moulding quality is very good. Becuse of only 26 parts some details are not so fine. F.e. the tools on the left side of the hull doesn't look nice. Also the Single piece moulded tracks and wheels are a compromise and left us with material in between the horns.
Anyhow you are a heginner or experienced modeller, it is a nice kit, fast and easy to build.
I have added a few extras or covered the tools on the left with a tarpauline made of Magic Sculp.
More to come once painted.
Happy Modelling

Interesting project... a pitty about the tracks, though. But for the madmen among us, there should be plenty of options for replacment tracks/running gear for the 38t. Can´t wait to see it painted up 👍

Thx Tom B. and Spanjaard. I have some 3d printed tracks but they are a bit wider and does not fit to the mudgards. I plan to set the tank on a muddy road and cover the tracks with mud.

More detail painting on the accessories and transmission mast. I think I will use oils on the mast, because there is not much colour modulation and depth of colours to be seen.

Highlights are done using oils and a first setting on the vignette to see how it will come out.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Wow, great build. I am pretty impressed by the detail quality, despite noted shortfalls. It looks really great in your photos 👍

!/72...! Nuts 🙂
Lots and lots to admire. What did you use for power wire and isolators - its very very thin indeed.

Thx Spanjaard. Yes when I looked closer to the photos I thought about the same. I'll make some close up photos at the weekend.
All the best my friend 🙂

The loaded stuff enriches the Panzergrau outstandingly, yes, an eyecatcher!
I really like the base.
