In a possible sign of a reaction to the super detailed model which you spend an age on fitting the interior out and then can't see a thing Das Werk are releasing some of their 1/35 Panther kits without the normal interior fittings.

Has the pendulum started to swing or did they simply not have enough interior sprues moulded ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Miniart (I think - correct me if i'm wrong) produce two versions of their more detailed armour - with and without interior.  A good idea if you ask me.

But if you were not satisfied with the trials and tribulations of fitting out a 1/35 interior, I have a Hobby Boss T34 with full interior detail (including engine & transmission) in 1/48.

I also think it's a good idea.

Interestingly the IBG Crusader AA tank I'm going to build has taken the minimalist approach to the running gear and track assembly which is one of the reasons I bought it.

I don't like rubber band tracks but I can see that the novelty of working individual link tracks would very quickly wear off.  Link and length seems to be a good compromise in 1/35 and 1/48.

The IBG Crusader has the tracks moulded complete with the inside of the running gear and you attach the individual outer running gear parts to that. Very simple and in 1/72 very practical especially as the Crusader has minimal track sag, if any.

I actually prefer the rubber band style of track - if they are molded well,  I look with horror at the amount of work required by individual track links or even link and length tracks.  I am, I know, a lazy modeller.   :banghead:

I don't think I ever found a practical solution to joining those old Airfix tracks. In the end I'd be nice to my mum for a few days and she'd sew them together for me  :thumbsup:

I used to put  the join over a return roller behind a skirt if possible, or under road wheel if not, and then flood it with tube glue.  It made a sticky mess which adhered to the styrene part it was sat on/under.  Never very satisfactory.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Interesting! I wouldn't have to whiff this one. Here's a pic of the front.

Don't if any of you blokes have built a Das Werk kit yet bit if you decide to don't be scared or worried...im building the DW SMK-18-TYP 2 Salvenmaschinenk kit ...this is a eight barreled 20mm cannon..kit number DW35005 .
It builds up very well with clean fitment of parts and very nice details..gun barrels are pre-drilled unlike some high end brands can't even be bothered doing .
Well worth your money if you decide to spend it 😉
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
