This one's in progress with some Eduard PE, and it will recieve some Dragon figures.

These are the figures I'll be using:

They will recieve some Hornet heads. The commander will be saved for another project.
I'll try to get some pics next week.

Here's what I've got right now. Suspension arms and idle wheels installed, and fighting compartment started. I've added the Eduard PE latches on the ammo boxes. I also built up the drive sprockets, even though they aren't in the pictures.

Tamiya's Wespe is a very good kit,but like most armors of Tamiya,the vinyl tracks is a problem. Maybe you should get aftermarket tracks for your Wespe.

Looks fine so far. Good Luck.

I know what you mean about the tracks Hu Min. I'm considering some options right now. Here's an update:

The partially assembled howitzer, and upper and lower hulls have been test fitted. Of course, being a Tamiya kit, there are no problems. But it never hurts to check ;) Some parts from the Eduard set have been added.

I've made some more progress on the model.
