Hi

I built the Maquette 38(t) Befelswagen, as an Ausf B. Its a good kit, but
one you need to show a little respect when you build it in terms of ensuring
panel alignment etc. I don't recall any need to get out the putty beyond
what I would for a DML kit.


If you leave out the interiro I would suggest fitting the centre bulkhead to
get an easy fit of the hull.

Compared to the sclae plans in the MBI Praga 38(t) book the kit is fairly
accurate and it would pay to get acopy of that book if you can.

You may want to replace the kit barrel with aluminium if hot summers are an
issue for you (minewas rather soft) and consider repalcing the tools with
Tamiya PZ IV OVE. The tracks worked well for me but take care around the
sprocket.

Cheers

Neville
