Hello,
my next Project, the Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. F. With a lot of Accesories.

LOTS is right!

I've always like the Panzer II, so it will be interesting to see this come together 

Started with the Panzer II this evening.
The drive wheels from Panzerart seem to be for an early b or c, not for an F.
The running and support wheels from FC Modell Trend not only have stupid pressure levels, I also couldn't find the hubcaps shown on any original.
Seem to be fantasy. So I won't be using either set.
The only literature I currently have is the Alter Spielberger book.

No all you need to do is find an early B or C for when the Wehrmacht blitz'd through Freedonia with their Sylvanian Army allies.

Update on the Pukpfw II.

I build it with the Panterart and FC modell trand parts.

I remove the FC modell and panzerart parts, the are toe bad.
Next i assemply the Trex tracks.
Als Nächstes muss ich die Trex Kette montieren.

Like the others that is a lot of after market. The tracks should look pretty speco though 

A littel update. I resting new rivets and i build it with only the PE parts, the master Barrel and the Trex Tracks. The Kit are very god out of the Box.

I began with the tracks.

Going together remarkable well by the looks of it

Indeed  , but those tracks are sadly beyond my capabilities nowadays,perhaps they were never within them ?

They're not really as difficult as they look, they're just tedious beyond the retention of sanity (it helps, though, if you never had any to start with ).

I can cope with them as long as I can space it out over a number of weeks.

Chris Wombys right ..sanity helps..or lack off ...I don't know how many AM track sets I've made ..probably 50 + and there's some like Friulmodel and Spade ace which are white metal and go together easily you do have to play with a .5mm drill bit to clean out the hole where the pins go which is either stainless steel or brass .5mm wire ..they can be tome consuming and expensive.
Then there's the plastic and resin ones ..the 3D printed ones I used on my Panther assault gun where brilliant and dead easy to assemble...others from the kit makers themselves just click together..they can be a PITA sometimes when they won't stay together but there's ways to sort that too 😉
Oh also..the bigger the track..the easier
