Hello Zakopious,
Sorry, due to my work schedule I am not very activ in the forum for a long time - in fact I continued work on the models a little bit, mainly building the running gear and so on. I did not post any fotos of that progress yet, maybe I will do in the near future as I am planning to take up modelling more often in the future.
So until now I have not encountered any major problems, beside the fact that the tanks are quite small themselves, meaning they are even smaller in 1/72 scale.
I think the turret will be a little tricky to build, and of course the main armament - MG's. For the armament I found a solution: white metal parts in 1/76 scale.
Rivets (also a tricky part of the work in small scales) will be provided by Archer Fine Transfers - resin decal rivets which I have allready used with my Japanese Type 94 tankettes.
