See below. There was a review on http://www.themodellingnews.com that confirmed I would have to put the wheels and tracks on before adding the side skirts. My instinct is not to do so but the review implies that this is not going to be easy. I’m waiting for the second half of the review to confirm this. Anyway as the skirts are a little short at the front I will be able to fix this problem with some Evergreen strip. The review also pointed out that the wheels were mislabeled but I had already figured that one out from experience with other late war german tanks.
