I just held my 1/32 version up to the monitor as I viewed the pics. Wondering if some of the differences I noticed could be explained as minor manufacturing changes as factories cranked them out during the war, or is the 21st Century model simply glossing over minor points to be able to make it at price point? Also wondering if I should pick up a second and try to modify for the first time in my life. Is it worth it at 1/32nd? I haven't physically built a model in over 20 years.

well the 21st thing is a toy first most and a model 2nd.

but even the 40-50$ kits from DML, Tristar still have problems.

This real life 38(t) is a vet of the 7th Pz/Barbarossa.(owner tracked down it's deployment from the werknumbers) and was found buried in the Hungarian mud(although painted dunkelgelb)

For some reason the track link is not comming up. (no pun intended) But I can see it does not look like me or the Hun are close on our links. Or this should NOT match a Hetzer? Maybe old stock? This looks a lot easier than ours. :D
