Schützenpanzer Puma - BW

Starting with the tracks; the manual is printed on an extra paper 

Track links with thin structure; I was afraid whether it will break... 

...thanks to the smart sprue attachement: the parts just slide to the side instead of crack 

Each track has 71 elements; each track element consists of three parts -> 2 x 71 x 3 = 426 parts. It took me a couple of hours to cut and clean them 

The track construction ist fairly easy. First the rubber pad side is laid down on the construction aid. 

Second the track links are laid in the recesses. ATTENTION: the track links have an outer (detailed) and inner (not detailed) end. 

Third the top track parts must be carefully glued in place.  

Here you can see the detailed outer end of the track links (all must be orientated to one side) 

Finished and flexible! 

Preparation for the traveling gear starts. These are (almost) all parts for one side (there should be six wheels) 

The parts fit very well. 

Travelling gear attached to the lower hull 

Parts fort both hull sides 

Side armour finished 

View of the top hull, somme drill work is needed to attach the rubber mats.
