Thank you so much for your kind encouragement.
Halinski is always Halinski. It is pure joy to build one. Even a 20 years old model

Stephan,
Thank you very much for your kind encouragement.
It is my first experience Halinski vehicle model but it is a lot different with GPM.
I like the very sturdy configuration.

Still working on the wheels.

The work for axles.
There are serious design errors on axles.
When wheels are built, the center axles are put. (Part # 1 & 6 (circles) in the left photo)
When wheels are assembled to the main frame, there are another axles of 14a & a4b
Halinski fixed many errors in the SdKfz 7/1 published later (Basically almost the same models except armors)
But ???... Seriously, are you kidding me?
They are not compatible as shown in the following photo.
Even part #1 & 6 are shorter so that they can not connected directly to the main frame....
The designer might have other ideas but it just didn't work for me.
Serious modification is desperately necessary.
After being frustrated and cursing a lot..., it turned out that
14b should be cut as shown in the top of the following photo.
For the other type of wheels, I just extended the axles.

I guess the original designer made this for turning wheels. Later when upgraded (?), the new designer mixed up.
Next time I might try turning wheels for Sd.Kfz 7/1 if I built one.

The work for the end wheels.
Again, the design failure is here on axles too.
Cutting original axles part (14c) shorter.
And then extending the axles.
After assembled in the main frame.
The assembly instruction is not showing clearly whether I should connect the wheel together.
But I just did because the reference photo showed the connection and without the connection, it was difficult to make the wheels parallel to others. (The main frame is slightly angled near the end.

Thank you so much for your kind encouragement and the info about the engine.
This is more than 20 years old. Back then, I guess paper models were different. WWW and Internet were in their beginning. It might be difficult to collect all historical facts

Building these Halinski tracks are not difficult but time-comsuming.

At the first thought through designs and photos before building, the track did not look like tracks. The design is totally different with real tracks.
But after building, the tracks seem to be very sturdy. Quite satisfying.
I guess the original design was for moving tracks.
