Thanks, Carlos. I was excited because it looked like a match to this series of photos:
The kits used for detailing are so rare and expensive these days... no matter what they used it will probably cost a fortune to buy!
Cheers,

I stand corrected. Those are indeed Sherman HVSS components in there. Two bogie units and the drive sprocket.
I was thrown off by the outer panel that conceals those elements.

Carlos,
No worries—you mentioned 1/16 armor earlier... and that started the investigation! So, now we know. Thank you so much for confirming. Where did you find the set photo? That is beautiful!!

I just googled Jawa sandcrawler and that was one of the results.

I don’t understand what is happening to the turret in the first photo of your last post, and I feel stupid, but I have to ask you what is going on?

That is a wading tower that comes with the kit. On the real tank it allows the tank to cross water obstacles up to a certain depth. I likely will not use it on this build, but I may use it on another Leopard that I have... here’s a look at them in actual use...
I still have one item to build from this kit.... Hallo Thomas!
