Panzer 38T

 This is the fist TriStar kit that I have built. I was impressed with the detail and quality of the fit. I know this was an older kit and TriStar had a good reputation before being bought out by Hobby Boss.

I happened to have an old Legend stowage set for the Italeri version.  I was caeful to select which components would fit well and what plastic parts of the kit to leave off. I then superglued the resin pieces in place and completed assembly with most of the stowage on.

I did have to re-arrange some of the kit tools in order to make them visible. 

I used thin strips of masking tape as belts and straps on the turret for the personal stowage items.  After hand painting all of the details I was able to weather the entire vehicle to blend.

I am pretty happy to enter this in our 38T club challenge for July.
