You are right, of course. I was thinking of American tanks with fully supported suspensions where the sag of the tracks is minute and easily modeled by a molded length of track.

I would also say that although not having live track, vehicles like Panthers and Tigers that have a lovely catenary action of the tracks which I would imagine would be difficult to achieve with link and length.
Those M4A4 tanks are from the French 1st Armored Division, part of the 1st Army under General de Lattre de Tassigny. They fought as part of the 6th Army Group in the southernmost sector of the western front. Very colorful; they make for great modeling subjects.
LeClerc was in command of the more famous 2nd Armored division which was assigned mostly to the US 3rd Army. So he was a division commander, not in charge of the entire France Forces Libres.

Both wartime and G-13
Hetzer Walk-Around: Patton Museum Hetzer: On the heels of the new Takom Hetzer kit coming out, here is a walk-around of several vehicles I have encountered. Some are original WWII AFVs and some are back-dated post-war items. G-13 Back-dated Vehicle seen here: [IMG_0530sm] Post-war Hetzer [IMG_0692sm] [Hetzer T] [hetzer1] This one has the late 4-hole idler wheel. [Hetzer3] At some point this vehicle was back dated to look more as a WWII AFV. [hetzer7] All photos © Mike Koenig - Al…
Does anyone know if Takom is going to include die cut camo mask for the mid production version that is on the box art?
这款后期型追猎者是三花最后一款全内构追猎产品,也是一款非常有代表性的型号。这款后期型追猎者相对于初期型,细节方面的主要区别在诱导轮,履带,发动机舱盖和排气管等方面。板件
三花此次推出的全内构追猎者系列共三款产品,这是其中的第二款中期型。在细节方面,这款中期型和昨天的初期型区别并不大,主要集中在负重轮、导向轮和火炮防盾方面,尾部排气管外层
Interesting that they also offer a duplicate clear body version in this kit in case you want to really show off that interior!
Great idea!
Got it!
First impressions?
Good! Excellent!!
Then the market will be “flooded” with “redundant” Tamiya kits…
Detail pics man!
Good.
I haven’t gone thru the trees yet.
Small sized instructions.
Comes with command radios but doesn’t look to come with its base or antenna.
Air cleaners are the later round type, not early rectangular version.
Paint recommendations for engine compartment components are suspect.
Metal barrel included but not the type with a threaded end.
Yes, I noticed that. We need the experten to tell us how a Hetzer looks inside without the command radios.
Is the other command stuff in there too? e.g. the GG400 generator.

I’m wondering if the command radios are not installed, then only the frames for the radios are in this area?
Tamiya died when the other folks decided to kit it. Eduard was the first, and on a different level. Now Takom is teaching them a lesson

I would be most interested in the way the did the ammo storage
