That’s a magnificent kit!

Looking forward to following along.

I’ll be curious to follow this project. Tristar at least included a full interior for the drivers and fighting compartments… unlike the ancient Testors/Italeri kit that I completed a few months back.

Thanks everyone for the support… well this is the worst part, my Tristar Pz38(t) Ausf.B has the same gear box and transmission… so, I worked a little on the plastic parts.
The H3,4,5,6 I need to do them separately with the PE bands, they have to be in the correct position, H5 and H6 have 2 PE bands each.
This will take me weeks to finish… I will be working on some sub-assemblies and other projects.

All that PE looks to be out of a nightmare.
I hope it is well engineered.
Good luck.

I noticed that Tristar doesn’t provide any color info for the ammo racks and ammo shells, anyone has some info on those ?

Managed to get this one back to the bench, painting the tires

Following this for sure! Love Tristar and love the Panzer 38t. I have the Tristar Panzer 38t, Marder H, Marder M, and Flakpanzer 38t from them! You are doing an excellent job so far!

For the shell color, it is hard to tell exactly what shell type they are, but black with a silver tip would work
