Finaly finished with this disaster... I have to admit this was the worst experience in building suspension the I had. Apart from problems with wheels, rocking levers and springs had no strong points of joint and tended to break apart whole time of assembling. Supporting rods base, despite that...

Thanks friends! Wheels struggling is finished. As I was afraid - all six main wheels were designed with errors. This excludes the other two bigger rear tension wheels. I assume there was a mistake in wheel diameter corresponding to scale, so it was reduced a little... but all other parts were...

I gathered the will and got back to the model... At least it gives some escapism. So, continued with rear suspension levers and springs Rocker lever and tension mechanism. There was some odd numbering in parts: part 602 belongs to tension mechanism that has later group of numbers, but was in...

Hi all Continue straggling with suspension. Assembled front suspension lever mechanism, except wheels. Front rocker levers - designed well, but there was a mistake with mirroring part. Luckly it won't be seen. Rear springs - many small parts and very fragile construction, because...

Thanks guys! First two front wheels. I struggled with those and still don't understand if it is my mistake or design flaw. I cut inner ring diameter precisely, but inner strip was half mm big and afterwards wheels spokes didn't match in it. So, I was in need to adjust one by one. By default...

Hi After summer vacation - back to the model. Continue with suspension. In this tank it is unique and complex... I wonder what the reason behind this engineering idea was. Nevertheless, front lever with amortization. A lot of small parts. Here is the comparison to toothpick Whole...

Continue with supporting rollers Noting to tell here :) Errors: none

Drive wheel Nothing special. I didn't glue base and wheels together, so i can align wheels on place Just upgrade the look lightly. I got bonus with my order of rivets from Drafmodel - 2 sets of bolt heads, 0.8 and 1.2. They fitted perfectly on drive wheels. Errors: none

Thanks pals Last part on tank is smoke generator Assembled all together and connected to hull with simple black thread Next stage by the book and numbering is turret, but i decided to continue with bogies and tracks. Stay tuned! Errors: None

Thanks Rhaven! After little vacation back to the model Finished all rear details that included jack wooden base, signal light, rear hooks, engine compartment hatch cover and some more bits Glued to place Errors: none

Next step was exhaust pipes and mufflers and some lifting hooks. It had challenging part - muffler perforated cover. I could not leave it like that, without punching holes, because this part top visible. So, I decided to make all the holes...something like 1674. I've already had small...

Made an antenna Decided to go with moveable, so i rolled some 80 grams paper on an axle, so it will insert tight into antenna base. This will hold axle from the other side when it rotates Glued to its place. Was some issue with antenna base. The slop wasn't calculated right and I was in...

Thanks friends Continue with little details on a hull. Axe Shovel Extinguisher Crank lift Crowbar Attached to designated marks Errors: Minor - part 332 not pointed correctly on drawings, part 350doesnt have color inside

Added a lot of small details: Towing and lifting hooks Main light Some kind of breathing tube Horn Front fender hinges and auxiliary lights All on it's place Errors: None

So, it was a busy week, that shows little progress. In this stage i decided to finish all the outer rivets. As I mentioned before, got laser cut round rivets 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm from Drafmodel. Cutting is high quality, but as it happens in such small scale, sometimes they fall into layers, so i...

As i mentioned you early - this machine gun adds a lot to this model and you assembled it excellent! :cool:

Worked hard on all hatch doors and visor covers Visor covers and front transmission cover Side hatch doors and hinges Rear engine hatch doors and hinges Fuel tank filler nozzle covers All doors on their places and can be opened As i suspected, there is no way to open visors...

Next step is the fenders. In this publishing there is a double-sided printing and this a huge plus in in design. I wish every publisher could do so. For this time i marked bending lines from outside. This gave me accurate 90 degrees bend. Before gluing to place, I assembled front and rear...

Finished body with rear upper part. First of all assembled power structure, so i can point where will be endings of exhaust pipes. Then inner exhaust pipes were bent from wire with isolation and glued inside. Attached power structure and covered with skin. Errors: There is a...

Thanks guys! Started to put outer skin. This step is crucial, and you must cut everything prices and dry fit every part. I did minimum adjustments to two parts only: 243 and 244. The fitment was satisfying and everything aligned well. To connect all parts in a best way i did it in this...
