''I spy with my little eye, something that starts with.....H'' at 2:30.....D'oh 😖 Pulled the trigger on my very,very first Tiger 1! Bought Rye Field's 5003 issue on sale here (almost as cheap Tamiya's Tiger 1) and it's got full interior front to back of which I'm sucker for such kits!🥴🥴 Well done for making the Dragons tracks work for you. Isn't part of the enjoyment/satisfaction of model making, working things out and then making it work!👍

Thanks- yep I’ve been training myself to an artist since I was a kid when I saw Dali’s Persistence of Memory. Its a long story which I may address some other time 🎨

Useful jig. Would have been nice if they had done like Takom do where it tells you how many track links one needs per section, ie the top, bottom and around each end
