Stew's build of an Afrika Korps Panzer 1A combined Tristar's Pz. 1A Early and 1A Early/Late (with interior) kits and Modelkasten tracks. Neither of the Tristar kits had turret weld seams or vision port detail so Dragon pieces were used to enhance those details. Stew expressed regret that he didn't purchase the Dragon kit before getting well along in the project since he found the Modelkasten tracks very frustrating to work with. The rubber band tracks in the Dragon kit would have greatly simplified the build. Photoetch from Voyager was used in addition to the PE that came with the kits.
A generic desert camo color was mixed and roughly applied over a base of Tamiya German grey. Filters, pin washes, and sand and dust weathering completed the build.
