Tracks were always going to be an issue. I cannot make them and could not find suitable 1:16 tracks.
I needed ones about the width of a Pz III track but with two guide horns. The only suitable one was a Sherman track but the sprocket on those is very recognisable.
In the end I opted for plastic Sherman tracks and a Sherman sprocket which I could modify probably to look less Shermany.
The tires were fitted along with a set of motors and gears. Then the tracks and sprockets went on.
After that I finished off the back with exhausts and grills and made some headlight lenses. I bought the notek light as I could not make one.
The gun is just aluminium tubing and I purchased the deflector or whatever its called.
And here is the final version. With a 1:16 scale Stug III beside it for scale.
In teh end I thought the tank looked OK - I dont know how practical it would have been in battle although the Hetzer seemed to have performed well.
Maybe if teh Romanians had had a few Maresals on the flanks at Stalingrad things might have gone differently!!
