I see Doc has also just started this kit. I was always planning on doing it after the little tanks so here we go! Blast models to really nice upgrades which I may use the tracks and stowage. I am about to do a series of French ww1 armour as I got this kit and a French Tank Carrier on FB Marketplace for steal. I them have some amazing German and English stuff to go.

One little tip, as I finished the build right now. I followed the manual for the installation of the machine guns and it proved very difficult to get the ball mounts in the center of the holes of the hull plates. It is easier to cut the gun mount away and glue the ball mount directly into the hulls hole. I didn´t one on side and the gun sagged after everything was sitting right and now I have a small gap.

Cheers Rob

I just read that, I’ll just glue them straight onto the side panel as you can’t see inside anyways. I’ve got some tracks from Blast models which I’ll try as well

I didn’t even bother to do the machine gun and cannon bases, just glued them on. 
 

added the signal panel harness which I learnt from a German bloke on Utube and confirmed my reference photos. 
 

serendipity? I have after market tracks I bought for another kit which is wrong!
