Being primarily an Allied Modeler, I had to laugh when I bought my Pz. IVE. I was truely in awe. I mean the Pz. IVE come with the gears inside the drive housings. Yet my brand new M4A1(76) Operation Cobra also from Dragon still doesn't have back plates to the idlers.
Personally, I say keep the details coming! I do agree with Glen that if you're not going to show them, don't use the parts.
When I build my Pz. IVE, I'm going to open every hatch I can find, put in the R&J interior, buy some friul tracks and put it on a base that shows off the workable suspension (take note R.C.).
But I will allocate a lot of time.
Evgeny,
My suggestion to you is to build this model slowly and work on other projects at the same time. I've been building a complex diorama for about 8 months. When I started, I worked on it full time but after a while I was going crazy. I started to build some other kits but kept doing a little bit on the dio. Now its almost done and I'm glad I paced myself.
