This will be the next build on the bench and my second one, but this time I added a few extras 😋... I still have a long way to go before I'll call the Jagdtiger completed

It keeps getting pushed back as next is the Tamiya M3A1 scout car to go with the M8 in a small diorama

Looks to be quite a project! I have that kit partially built with some various tweaks applied to it. Its a shelf queen right now, but will be finished before the end of the year. (Hopefully😉) I'm considering metal tracks as well for it. Either Master Club or Fruils.

easier than Fruils?

I found them to be similar in quality to Fruil model tracks.  However, for some odd reason Master club tracks are assembled, that is the German tracks, with resin pegs, that can be very fiddly.   And can cause you many hours of aggravation, and the use of colorful language🤨. So I use the Andy's Hobby Headquarters method,  utilizing staples. They're Sherman tracks are very nice too.

Good to know and found that Sprue Brothers carries Master Club if I think about when tracks are needed again.

I use Sprue Brothers quite a bit. Heck, I ought to just do an allotment to them!😄💸

Have started using quite a few others, as well,  including Ebay vendors. 

M&Models

BNA Hobby World

Hobbylinc 

Scale Hobbyist

Andy's Hobby Headquarters 

Lots of Models

HQ Hobbies

Dragon Hobbies

and many more.

I have one Hobby shop I go to and they're closed because of this Covid stuff. Plus they're about a100 miles to the south in Ft. Myers. This shop has an inventory set up similar to Andy's Hobby Headquarters.
