Discussions with a mate of mine has had me down the Panzer 4/70A path .................first up the early version from Tamiya.

Early Version

I will model a command vehicle from this same unit at the same time in a small dio, then come back and model this vehicle.

Progress.......... tracks on (and rear idler wheels replaced with welded ones)

Mud added to underside of the guards while I can still get to them.

I used the Tamiya upgrade pack for the breech that will be seen through the hatches. I used railway lettering and numbers for the factory cast serial numbers on the manlet. I also craved in the cast line seen on some mantlets as well as enhancing the flame cuts

I then drilled out the cleaning rods and scribed out the gaps at the ends for a more 3D appearance. I will remove the securing latches and add after market ones later.

I attached 2 chains to the rear of the chassis, one on the top rear plate and the other to the tow pintle and latch.

That's sharp details with the cleaning rods. You knock me out with weathering before assembly, talking about all the mud.
