Uncle Night Shift!!! Aka Martin Kovac. One of my favourites. Maybe not the absolute best but I like his self-deprecating style. I'm actually about a third of a way through that one.

He is very good but what I really like is that he's not afraid to admit when he's got it wrong or is doing something for the first time. And as for the fit absolutely shocking.

Hi Chris, only used on StuGs built at Miag. March to May 1943

The main factory at Alkett only used the bottom one.

Completed the link and length tracks on one side but


Made to the number of track links on the plans but track seemed to long, picture shows tracks with one less, may be a tad too tight now! The built in sag on the top is not enough in my opinion?

Had to use bluetac to hold the return rollars as the attachment pin is too short, also had to glue the drive sprocket as again pin to short and theres a second locating pin as well. Not impressed folks!
