I really don't think of myself as a rivet counter, but if you're in the neighborhood it might as well be done right. Like the tow cable posts of both Tamiya and Heng Long... it's lacking and incomplete! So a simple addition, paint and problem solved.



Then I thought, add the retaining pins to the C-Hook posts. But they are not long enough and I didn't want to just sand down one side of the hook so I made new ones out of plastic. But they weren't good enough for me so I pulled the aluminum tubes out and got busy with the drill press. I need to finish two more.

This bracket is for the track repair cable (which is made of steel, not a rope) and on the Late Panthers it's mounted horizontally (vertically on earlier Panthers and Jagdpanthers) and then looking at the REAL THING, it's also lacking in detail. Heck even the 1/35th versions are better than this is.

So, anal me has to fix that and then suddenly you start finding more and more things to correct.

It all has to come to an end soon or I'll never start on something new.
