Hi everyone, here’s my new work. Very old model but I hope to come up with something decent.
See you next time.

Hi guys, I started gluing something, and I preferred to block the pieces for better adhesion. I also put some internal reinforcements.

This is a timely build. I recently began purchasing old, cheap models for painting practice in 2025. CMK models cross my path on a regular basis. Having recently built an Academy Panzer 35(t), this CMK model of the same vehicle looks pretty good.
Are the undersides of the sponsons open? On the Academy Panzer 35(t), it was necessary to close up that area with some sheet plastic.
I look forward to watching your progress and seeing the completed model.

I already did a Skoda some time ago, the suspensions are not difficult but complicated. Thanks

Yes. That is exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you.
On a ship, a sponson is a structure that projects outward from the hull. They were common on pre-dreadnought and dreadnought battleships, usually serving as mounting points for secondary gun emplacements. The term was borrowed to describe the enclosures on both sides of a British World War I tank. From there, the definition of sponson changed again, referring to the armored parts of a tank’s superstructure that extend outward and over the fenders. Not all tanks have sponsons. That is my understanding of the term. Perhaps someone here with more knowledge can correct my definition, if needed, or elaborate further.
I compared my Academy Panzer 35(t) to your CMK model. The fenders and sponsons on both models are very similar. On my model, I added some plastic card under the fenders and started to add strips inside the hull to seal off the sponsons. In truth, I do not know how those parts of the real tank are built. They may be open.

Nope, you pretty much nailed it. But we do add modifiers like “sponson boxes”.

Oh yes, unfortunately, even though I tried to adapt the piece I had to add a thickness.
