Panzer 1A

This is Dragon's Pz 1 A, Half started, it's been sitting in the drawer of doom for many years, so time to hopefully get it done.

My corrections so far as follows

Redid the welds on the hull, the turret welds will probably look ok under paint

Dragon's jack is not quite the correct shape so that was redone along with all the tool stowage. I've used ET models tool clamps here, these are the best 3D tool clamps I've come across

Dragon missed the crowbar under the antenna trough so that was added

Redid the engine deck armor, I folded the small angle iron supports from 0.14 strip and added the horizontal bars from 0.75x0.25 strip

The orange lifting hooks are from Heavy Hobby

The front and rear towing hooks and the horn are from the BSK set

The jack block is a Lithokraft item with corrected mounting bracket and hook

The rear hatch should be inset rather than proud as in the kit 

Reworked the antenna trough as the kit one is incorrect 

The tracks are T-rex

The only major thing left is to construct the rear mounted smoke launcher
