Hun, Great job on the Pickelhaube Wirbelwind turret, it is a very nice kit!
Hope you don't mind if I ask but I noticed on this tank and many of your other projects, the tank treads look more realistic than the standard rubber band "looking" tread. Do you cut the tread and add a section or a cast section of tank tread? Looks great.
Oh and if you have any news on the Stug and Jagdpanther kits let us know.

keeping or selling this one, Hun?
I have been doing these type customs for so long for other collectors, It seems that i was always so busy building for other people that i never built for me, so in the last couple of years i started building select pieces for myself, So when i built this wirble i did it for myelf to go in my little collection, Matthew done such-a- great job with his kit i just fell in love with it.

Chipped paint, There is a couple of ways to do this, Brushing on the paint chips is one way, (Very effective when done right)
Or once i paint a model i have came back over it and chipped the paint off, This method takes a long time and can be over done very easy so take your time, i have been doing this a long time and i still screw up all the time.

About the tracks, I have done tracks both ways you mentioned, On this tank i cast a section and added it in, I wanted a lot of sag on this tank, and almost gave it to much, but I was happy with the way it came out.
I have been working on the Jagdpanther kits non stop, They are almost done,( I'm only building 15 kits, as soon as they are finished, I'll be going right into the stug kits, I'll keep you posted as i go, The jagdpanther kits should be ready around the first of the week.
