Cool Tristar Panzer 38[t] Ausf G

A scan of the instructions:

I'll have sprue shots up later but I probably will not be working on this one for a while as I really want to finish the panther.

Hi Fletcher!
Does this tank fit the campaign against the west during 1940 or is a later version? Thought of doing a diorama with it. I like the wheels and turret on it.
Ohh darn according to the instructions the first tank is from 1941! Then it´s out of question I guess. What is your impression of the kit so far?
Cheers!
Ebbe

This is a nice little kit. Are you building a standard G or the Befehlswagen?

You are going to have to change your signature, perhaps.

Yes, this looks to be a very nice kit. I'll probably do the standard as markings option #3 is appealing to me quite stongly... Also, Iquah, you were saying..

I do like the Bulgarian 38(t). Take note that the markings in the kit is not complete - missing details. Also the skull is missing eyes, nose and mouth. If you want accurate decals, Bison is due to release a set next month.

Thanks for the tip. I thought the skull was missing the eyes/mouth but I wasn't sure if it was suposed to be like that or not.

Sprue Shots

"A"



"B"



"C"



"D"



"E"



"F"




"G"



"H" (radio frame parts)



"T" (3x)



The quality of moulding is excellent throughout. There is some minor flash on some parts but nothing to worry about. Decals look awsome, but as Lawence pointed out, they contain some innacuracies The PE is great though The tracks are really well done with extreamly thin thin guide horns and great detail. They also snap together and are workable I have decided to do the Bulgarian one which looks really cool No more for a while as certain people will have my head for diverting attention away from the Panther.
