Thats a pretty clever way of doing things..! Leaving half the wheels off to one side - makes the entire track one removable sub assembly... How have I never thought of this..!? Nice looking Panzer... Tamiya still got a solid kit by the looks of it...

Removable, that might have been a good idea, yes … I glued the track to the wheels instead 🙂 My idea is that like this, I can still reach most of the track reasonably well to paint it, and that any unpainted bits will be largely limited to around the inside wheels where they won't be easy to spot. With both rows of wheels on, I have no idea how to paint most of the track at all. (These days, I much prefer workable tracks, because you can paint the model and the tracks separately and only then install the tracks, easily and without having to glue painted track links to painted wheels.)
