Thanks!
New update is here. All wheels are finished and installed. Now, to make the running gear complete, I just need the tracks. These should be done tomorrow...

Nice work, the Panzer 38(t) is a nice looking little tank.

Thanks, Brent.

Tracks are done and the running gear is completed. The tracks I used come from the WoT Hetzer, although I had to reduce their width by 1mm(some simple redesigning in Inkscape).
I was hoping to install the fenders today as well but it turned out that they need some redesigning too...

great job so far.. one suggestion is to print out the center portion of the road wheels and burnish them into saucer shapes and place them on the outer non rubber portion of the wheels. makes them look even more 3d

Looks great! One of my favorite tanks.

I know what you mean but that wasn't planned here. In 1/50 scale, it's not really needed. The only thing I wanted to add to the road wheels are those small lids, caps. You should notice them in new photos.

Anyway, today I'm posting an update as the hull is almost done, there are just a few parts/details left. Then we have the last stage, the turret, and then, the model is finished...

Looks great. Your work is so clean it appears to be a larger model until the photo with the coin. Wonderful!

I like the nose-to-nose comparison of the U.S. Army M3 light tank and your Romanian T-38.

The National Museum of the Pacific War used to have an outdoor display with an M3 light tank and a Japanese Type 95 similarly posed, but I thin both vehicles are now in new, separate, and very realistic displays.

Fantastic work Kacper !! I am glad to see this project continued. I am also in a difficult moment to build, even passing and commenting is complicated this year.
