Hobbyboss 1:35 Scale German Panzer Kpfw38 t AusfE/F Model Kit (Grey)

Excellent kit, fantastically moulded. The suspension is especially well designed and would be great for a diorama featuring uneven ground. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend this kit of this great little tank

The tracks almost made me cry. They're made up of individual track links that are supposed to clip together, however they barely do, some don't at all, so you have to glue them together, but then it's a lot harder to wrap them around the drive sprocket and rear road wheel as you'd have to break them apart so that it doesn't look terrible. It took me three days to get them on, and even then, the weak links fell apart multiple times as I was finishing the hull, painting on camo and adding decals. I ended up just gluing the broken tracks to the wheels as I didn't want to try clip them back together, since when I tried whilst putting the tracks on in the first place, it just caused a break in another area. Also, I put the tracks on before the parts that cover the top of the tracks, whereas in the instructions, you put the tracks on well after this, which I can only image to be even more horrible to do. Besides that, some of the tools don't fit onto the tank, and some of the decals don't fit properly. A slightly more minor gripe is with the gun, which should be able to be lowered and raised, however my gun got jammed in the turret, making movement impossible. Overall, the finish is okay if you ignore the slightly wonky decals and if you can get the tracks to not look too janky. The instructions are a bit crowded. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone, there are many other options if you want a model of a Panzer 38(t), and although I can't speak to their quality as I have not as of yet tried them out, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's unlikely they're as bad as this one.
