Hello Adam, thank you for this great video. I have a little problem and maybe you can help me. I am building TAMIYA 1/35 Hummel late version and I want to sketch the track links in Fusion 360. But I was not able to find any single drawing/blueprint of German track link for Hummel. Do you have any suggestion where to search or do you have something in your sources? Track type Kgs 61/400/120. Thank you very much. Happy modeling.

look up Tankbrusher on cults3d. That's my friend Kai. I think he did all the types. I've never modeled one of those tracks.

Adam - periscope covers.....problem solved....use Tamiya Extra-thin, use PLENTY, and move the cover back and forth, while the plastic is still "liquid". This moves the molten plastic into the "holes", and solves that "gap" problem. Tamiya OFTEN has holes bigger than the part which goes into the hole, like with these covers. And just DRILL OUT those smoke grenade launchers!, LOL!.... But that muzzle brake is on YOU!..... Wtf?....You don't have some 400 grit in a sanding block?....KUTGW!....

Adam I have a question for you and hope you can help. I have a Border Model Panzer IV mod G Kharkov kit. I have been examining Krieg videos/ photographs made in and outside Kharkov 1943. I saw a Stug III and several Panzer III with Winterketten tracks. But I didn’t see any SS Panzer Korps or GrossDeuchland Panzer IV pictures using Winterketten (due to photo quality, photo angles or covered in snow. Do you know if they actually used Winterketten or OST wider tracks during Kharkov 1943? I want to make my Border Model kit as accurate as possible. Thank you
